[CO] Have a chance to buy my first investment property from a family member. I have a lot of questions!

My cousin is moving to Germany. She and her family are going to sell their townhouse in Colorado within the next three months. I have been playing with the idea of getting a rental property for over a year now and she says she would be happy to sell it to me. I started looking into it and oh my gosh are there a lot of questions to ask. Here are the ones I have so far:

Can I buy a rental property without 20% down? Everything I am reading says that is necessary and that PMI isn't offered on rentals, but I have a much older friend who owns properties and he says it isn't required until you have more mortgage debt.

Do investment properties add ~1% to the APR of the loan? If a mortgage APR right now for a home-buyer would be 4.125%, would mine be 5.125%?

Since this is a sale within a family, how cheaply can the house be sold to me? I have extremely high trust with my cousin and would be happy to do whatever is the most cost-effective sale process.

What other questions should I be asking?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
