Ideally would like to SRT when i'm not there to try and cover some of my costs.

So anything I can do to cover my butt is what I do, but my focus is on the buy-and-hold.That said, there are certainly some interesting buys in 80910 in that $300k range.

@Hyeseong Park, so much to cover here.  

As the tenants build equity, the cash flow covers problems, and you can always move back in if you decide.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway is relative growth.

If the permit is in relation to a single family TO multi family conversion, then you need to make sure you look up what the city's DOB records show for the actual CO (certificate of occupancy). 

Like, putting a cap where I'll cover up to $200 for electricity, water, or gas, and if it goes over, that's on the tenant.

My friend is wondering if he can use a personal loan to cover an EMD (Earnest Money Deposit)? 

But my kids are worried for my health and want me closer.

Ideally we will find a (relatively) low priced market to be able to get into without putting up huge amounts of capital.
