It took some work, but with a lot of "screening" beforehand I managed to arrange some unforgettable experiences.My understanding of the origins of AirBnB is that this was precisely the kind of experience the creators had in mind - real people sharing their homes and lives.  

The seller actually notarizes it at the time you close the purchase, then it is held by the title co and recorded at time of payoff.

If it weren't so darned far away for me to self manage, I'd start looking at Pueblo or Grand Junction, because the entire front range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins is nuts.  

@Stephen Torti My subscription still works, not sure if they (Preston & Co) have made any major updates in the past 2 years.  

Since then (Jan this year), I have been managing this property from CO.

The mortgage co will want to see leases to credit the rents towards your income and to ensure one of them is moving out within that 3 months so you can occupy the unit. 

He is in Colorado and I am in Connecticut.

Some final notes are that my father is willing to co-sign or co-borrow on the mortgage.

There cannot be a co-mingling of money between the transactions, which is why they want a release from C to pay A.

For your edification, in Colorado Notice of Election and Demand or NED is the term used."
