Want to buy a condo

[N/A N/A]

Hey all,

thanks for all the great help you seasoned investors provide. i'm looking to buy a condo here in Denver (my first investment) just to get me introduced to REI. I'm not sure this is the best forum for such a strong newbie. i'm really just looking for a beginners experience... and a place to live while I work on getting my CPA license over the next year. after that's out of the way, i'd like to jump back into the REI educational process and start buying more for the return/income stream.

Can someone point me to a forum or a book to read that can help me with such a basic transaction? I'm looking to buy a 2br for around $160k just to give you some scope. I'd like to put down around 20% to avoid PMI.

thanks very much!

Daniel
