I am wondering if someone can just explain to me where a prospective buyer can find out how to obtain the CO (cost / reason property doesnt have one) and since its buyers responsibility upon purchase, is this something anyone can look up ahead of even going to look at a property?

With a short work history you'll need a co-signor, but get your parents to co-sign, and use an FHA loan to buy a multi-unit and do it soon.

Brandon,My wife and I have used Bryon Large from the Joseph Law Firm in Colorado.

I am wondering if anyone can inform me on taking out a line of credit from a Co-op, in terms of what lenders would you recommend?

That's just how the title co. is required to report the distribution of funds.....just like the proceeds from a sale.

I was prepared because I knew what was on the co checklist from a previous purchase in that borough.  

LIFE-CHANGING ACTIONS here.STEP 1-20.You need to get you personal home rent-ready... not overboard updating, just rentable... clean and painted etc.Fix any leak faucets, loose doorknobs etc NOW, so that when your PERFECT tenant moves in, they won't be calling you to fix those.Put in new 5 Year Lithium Battery (write the date installed ON THE OUTER SHELL) of SMOKE DETECTORS (draw faint red stripes across the front outer shell of smoke detectors-- red means fire or smoke-- when the smoke clears (if the house didn't burn down) it's ok to reset the smoke detector and finish cooking dinner.ON CO DETECTORS (draw faint gray stripes across the front outer shell of a CO--teach your tenant the gray stripes mean DEATH-- if that alarm EVER starts beeping, they are to immediately raise windows , open doors and call you---even if its 2am--- A REPAIR MUST BE MADE or people can DIE-- little children and elderly go first

All my Denver folks!

Hi, I currently live in Denver and I am interested in buying a multi family somewhere in Ohio.

A parent as co-signer might push me to say yes.
