You would think that D would realize that his professional reputation could be hurt by K's behavior.In any case, just because someone is likeable or personable doesn't mean they are any good at what they purport to do.

@Kevin JamesYour name does not matter, your reputation is all that matters.

I have a bachelors degree in business mgmt and a decent amount of money saved up, so I will take the time to explore other options and find the right opportunity.

One other route to explore are mini-splits.

Also looking for references/connections to reputable private money lenders as an alternative if anyone would be interested in working together and wants to connect!

I chose a local community bank because they're small, great reputation, and super friendly.

I am all for exploring options with seller financing, as the banks will always be there as a possibility on your future investment deals, but the opportunity for seller financing may not!

Does anyone have recommendations on reputable appraisers in the Denver area?

, and the quality/reputation of the schools as a backup in case your place is not appealing to students...lots to consider...In any case, though, the KEY if you want to pursue rentals here, both since you're out of state and since you're not here to manage them, is the Property Management piece.

I’m fulfilled by having a multi-dimensional life where I love working on my business and real estate, I love exploring the Colorado outdoors, and I love spending lots of time with my family.
