What contractual routes are available?

I get eager too sometimes and just want to jump in, but there are PLENTY of deals out there and plenty of properties that will offer you nice cash flow if you chose to go the rental route.  

I agree that painting or staining the cabinets would be the best route to go. 

Specifically the subdivisions on the West side of 75, around the intersections of Beltline/Waterview and Arapaho/Waterview. 

I'm thinking that I should go the MLS route for my first deal.

When it does, you can do one of three things: raise the rent to compensate for included utility cost; draw up a new lease showing landlord no longer pays for electric and gas and transfer it out of your name ( If you go this route offer a small rent decrease to compensate); If tenants have low to moderate income, they may qualify for cash discount from company to help pay their bill.

I do have a time set up to talk with our attorney to see what the best route to go will be.

If you go the SFR route and are going to be taking a conventional residential owner-occupancy mortgage, entering with a partner isn't out of the question, but it will come with complications.

Looks like this "former home to rental" is a common route for many on BP. 

Morally I see that as corrupt and no better than a beggar on a street intersection.
