I saw that they were no longer hiring and no cars so I did some research and had the property under contract in less than three days.

They were built in 2010 - 2012 and are stacked on three levels.

The cheaper house, "House A", is about three times the value of "House B". 

My question for all of you is three fold.1.

Investing in today’s market likely looks much different for many of us than it did probably even three years ago.

Get three quotes if possible from three reputable contractors. 

For security I like Ring products as they are low monthly costs ($10/month), yes the equipment costs up front may be a few hundred dollars but keeping your monthly costs low will increase subsequent cashflow, traditional alarm companies can be 40 to 60 a month.

Imagine coming out of the backcountry to find out that your water heater broke three days ago and two sets of guests did not only not have water, they had radio silence from their host who they've been trying to get a hold of? 

The upside of retail/commercial spaces is that you may be able to lock them into three to five year leases to start out and more if they are successful.

Can someone please tell me what loopholes are being used because between three different lenders I've talked to here in Denver, it doesn't seem possible...
