Owners are supposed to certify to the Board if no sales were generated in any particular month, as well as provide a copy of any Colorado sales tax return or alternatively, a report from AirBnB or VRBO regarding the sales for that month.I find this invasive, crappy, and a whole lot more that shouldn't be said in polite company. 

If you find a bank willing to do a deal like that let me know their contact info.

@Paul Merriwether it's all about finding the right deals.

All it takes is one little hiccup in life and they will stop paying rent, then it may take months for you to wake up and start the eviction, then additional months for you to actually evict, then months to find a new renter.2.

The house is unlivable, and now I’m dealing with the headache of insurance claims, finding contractors, and ensuring my tenants have a place to stay.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but not uncommon.You will find recommendations in the group.As you can imagine, we keep our trusted contractors close to our chest as we give them volume and need them working for us.All the best 🙏

Finding the right property (or even a GP) can be a real grind.

Find a local lender, you can start with where you have your money and then branch out, and confirm what you will need to qualify as @Nathan Gesner said above.

One recommendation is find a good property manager, he will be an important key player

And I presume that you can find good podcasts, YouTube channels, etc. - for as narrow or as wide of a net you may want to throw out for your own “real estate investing.”But if you should still have an inclination to trust some guru with a paid mentorship, I’d suggest to go above and beyond their standard contract, which will likely stipulate what you owe them in far better terms for themselves than what they owe you in return for your money: I’d ask them to stipulate - in writing - what “mentorship” your money (at each level of a “workshop”/“education” they expect you to pay for) will actually get you, and for how long.
