They will know the players (sponsors, lenders, investors) who are active in your type of deal. 

I believe there was another thread on this topic floating around were some local smaller player companies were mentioned.

Looking to drive by some neighborhoods to get the feel of them.Would love to know which areas are the A,B,C,D markets in the cities of Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs. 

I used to believe it just happened to us because we're C/D-class urban landlords...no, it happens to everyone.

I ended up preachy when I just wanted to tell him to get out there and meet some people instead of worrying all day about how to BRRRR C/D-class houses into generational wealth.

Keep in mind many mom and pop landlords are very hands on.. and have to collect rent in person.. and as stated above it all depends on your location and tenant base.. like west coast tenants by and large you could automate them.. lower end C D tenants no way.

Private money lender will give the same terms on either property, so financing is not a player. 

Sweet.Secondly, the OP's property is in a low-rent neighborhood, so the pool of applicants will likely be more in line with C/D properties than A/B properties.

With that short of a time horizon don’t stick your money in anything besides a CD or high interest savings account

Some suggests to get it rented, because IMO 2 months is horrible... even for C/D properties, the right price/incentives make things move.
