New investor in the Denver area

[Clark Thomas Tyrrell]

Hi, Im new to the area and the bigger pockets community, and was hoping to get some advise. I really want to get into real estate and id like to stay in this area if possible, but I'm finding it very hard to find anything that will cashflow within the first 3 to 5 years of owning it. Ideally I'd house hack a quadplex with a little help from a lender, however I'd be willing to go with anything that has promising cashflow. Should I start looking outside of Denver? Should I just stay patient and wait for the perfect deal? What am I missing? I'm open to other strategies and would love to hear any of your suggestions. Thanks!
