@Dustin HopeI had written a fairly lengthy response on the previous thread, but by the time I hit send, the thread had been zapped and my response along with it.Few points that I remember.

I have to admit that I'm very confused on how to buy at retail, get an institutional loan, rent it for fair market value and cover the mortgage, insurance and property taxes.

Another long time BP lurker here, finally getting around to introducing myself.My name is Geoff and I live in a fairly small and, in my opinion, unique community.

I thought I knew Colorado fairly well but Firestone is not coming to mind.

For rentals, don't expect to get more than 80% CLTV; likely you will be offered lower amounts.Now, finding lenders for this cash-out refi might be a challenge; you might have to make a bunch of phone calls and inquiries to find your lender.
