Ask your friendly title company to create a HUD-1 for youWith the offer attach pictures of all the ugly things about the property; the landscaping, broken windows, bad walk ways, bad fencing, green water in the pool, any nasty pictures of the interior, the estimate amount of renovations neededWrite a cover letter stating what you will do if they accept your offer; secure the property, insure the house, pay all cash, take care immediately of the roof problem, protect and secure the house form squatters, have the electric turned on, notify the water department, notify the local police to keep an eye out for vandals...etc.Since no one at the bank can make a decision as fast as you want, put a drop dead date in your offer.

Would you have any ballpark estimates for electrical/water/sewage for multi-family units in the Denver area (assuming I cant pass those onto a tenant)? 

If you're going in on day one and replacing all major mechanicals, plumbing lines, electrical supply, roof, siding, windows, and doors, budget 1k per unit per year and you'll be fine.

Hi @Philip Hy,You did not mention the quality of what I call the "big five": roof, AC, plumbing, electrical, and foundation.

With your expertise in the electricity side/doing the work yourself adds up in sweat equity. 

All new plumbing and electrical on that one.
