🔑 The Process: How to Get Started with IRM

Want to build passive income through distressed properties in Colorado, even if you’ve never bought a short sale or foreclosure before?

Here’s exactly how to do it, step by step.

✅ Step 1: Get Pre-Approved Like a Pro

We’ll help you get your financing squared away so you’re ready to move when the right deal hits.

Most investors use a 30-year conventional loan with 20% down (you can scale up to 10 properties that way).
Cash buyer? Doing a 1031 exchange? Perfect, we’ll give you early access to properties before they hit our main list.

💬 Need a lender? We’ll connect you with one who specializes in Colorado rentals, no guesswork needed.

📩 Step 2: Join the High-ROI Deal List

Each week, we send out new off-market, REO, and short sale properties.

You’ll get:

  • 🔹Full ROI breakdowns
  • 🔹Rehab budgets & rental comps
  • 🔹Our insider take on why this deal works

These are the deals we’d invest in ourselves. Now you get first dibs.

🤝 Step 3: Pick a Property. We’ll Do the Heavy Lifting

Once a deal catches your eye, here’s what we handle:

  • 🔹We submit & negotiate the offer
  • 🔹Coordinate inspections, title, and appraisal
  • 🔹Sync timelines between your lender, the rehab team, and our Keith
  • 🔹Keep you updated at every stage

No juggling 6 people or tracking down documents. You get one team, one process, one inbox.

🛠️ Step 4: Renovation That Makes Financial Sense

We renovate properties with durability + cash flow in mind, not fluff.
Here’s what that looks like:

✔️ We recommend LVP flooring (not carpet or Scotchgard durable carpets)
✔️ Assess HVAC, water heater, and roof for subsidiary repairs
✔️ We estimate and suggest new features to increase rent prices
✔️ No contractor games, we work with pros

And yes, we’ll send you before/after photos, walk-through videos, so you can follow it all. You can check our owner’s portal to see where we are in the process.

📈 Step 5: Get Paid ASAP

Once renovations start, within 60 to 90 days, you will start seeing returns on your investment.

And when the property is rent-ready, our team is marketing your property for new tenants, and at that point, expect cash flow!

🏘️ Step 6: Passive Income, Managed In-House

We don’t hand you the keys and disappear, we manage your property for you.

With IRM Property Management, you get:

✅ Tenant screening + lease signing
✅ In-house maintenance for lower costs
✅ 99% rent collection average within 30 days* not counting sending to debt collections.
✅ Real humans giving real monthly reports
✅ One dedicated Terri who knows your property by name

Want to scale up? This is how you do it without burning out.

🔍 Behind the Scenes: How We Find the Right Properties

We don’t push every distressed home we find, just the ones that hit our numbers.

💡 Acquisitions

We review dozens of short sales, REOs, and auction leftovers every week. We only share the ones that check all the boxes for:

  • 🔹Cash flow
  • 🔹Rehab feasibility
  • 🔹Tenant demand
  • 🔹Long-term ROI

🔨 Renovations

Every property gets a custom rehab plan designed to minimize future maintenance and maximize rental income.

  • 🔹Durable materials
  • 🔹Clean layouts
  • 🔹Efficient upgrades

🔁 Property Management

We built our management system to work for investors, not against them.

  • 🔹You’ll never chase a tenant or contractor
  • 🔹You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your property
  • 🔹You’ll never have to fly or drive to the Colorado’s property just to check on a leaky sink

This is real estate investing, minus the chaos.
