While I feel like Denver will continue to stay high on that list for a little while (the diversity of our economy, the tech money coming in, the potential for mushroom exploration make it a multi-faceted place), I would note that in Denver, the rents have not met the mortgage yet, so it's very hard to get good cap rates or cash flow in Denver- despite the demand. 

This will help determine what your price range will be.

Maybe $1,000 - $2,000 on a typical single-family in the $100K to $250K price range.  

Typically a good condition rental will rent itself if it's in a desirable area and in the same price range as the competition 

You can find a property under that price point but it will most likely be a 2/1 and need rehab.Apollo Beach is “Tampa area” with price points in that range for townhouses.

It is the GC being sloppy or miscommunication and the fee ranges from $4k to $10k and may delay the project a few weeks.

However, most of the plans we have done in that range are for affordable housing developers... market rate 3/2 does seem to be closer to 1,200-1,400.I have heard horrible stories about some of those "online plans" providers... sure you get plans, but there in Washington you need plans, structural calculations, electrical, foundations, etc...

Owner occupied owner mortgage rates are in the low 3% range so at least you have that to look forward to.You just need to get pre approved by a lender or broker then start looking for properties. 

Larger banks that have a branch in your market and the market you are in are options, otherwise not a ton of optionsArea - I would recommend B or better areas, especially for an out of state investorPM's - No PM's in the small property range will cover the whole state, so you'll have to get more specific first

Any range or SWAG would be appreciated.
