Is one route financially smarter than the other.

You can find a few local lenders here in Denver, or if you need one, I'm more than happy to recommend a few. 

Think clown and less tasteful.

You can start doing larger deals much sooner than you think. 

With BRRRR numbers a bit harder these days, it seems that would be a decent option to explore for total ROI and CoC return if you aren’t planning to take on more than 1 project at a time. 

In my listing, I posted a minimum credit score and income.  

That way you can ask for 4-5% Seller credits to pay for the closing costs.

I spoke with the police and they told me that they could not remove the unwanted guest because he had been living there for more than 30 days and set up his mailing address there and therefore he could only be removed through an eviction process.

I would say that you "can" submit an offer with anything you want in it but depending on how much activity the property has, your offer might look worse than the next offer.
