and I started working with a coach who has been trying to help me build my business from the ground up and work with me through closing my first deal (which still hasn't happened yet but I am only able to work on this 8-10 hours a week so I don't know if that's too abnormal).

There are a lot of different aspects you can bring to a partnership other than money. 15k might be the perfect amount of cash if you were able to contribute by being boots on the ground, meeting with contractors, property managers...As for going at it on your own, I don't know the price of things there but you probably could do some house hacking with that much cash.

From what he's gathered, as long as the property is above ground (similar to a trailer) you can avoid most of the LA regs.

I'd be glad to grab a coffee with you to see if I can't help you hit the ground running -- or at the very least provide beneficial information.

Denver metro is my stomping ground, great idea to invest here!

do u know the next phase of the beltline they are working on?

Constant moisture, soap scum, etc is a perfect breeding ground.
