Help looking at buy & hold in Colorado Springs

[Daniel Linn]

I'm looking for my first investment property, and I'm looking for a: advice on the location and b: recommendations for a realtor in the area who has experience with investments.

I'm thinking Fountain because its not a huge drive from Denver, and my parents live a few miles away so I'm down that way somewhat frequently. Prices are also still somewhat approachable, so thats a big plus. There is also a military base nearby, so I'm counting on having prolonged rental interest. I'm hoping for a cap rate of 10% but I know that will be hard to come by.

I need someone who is local to the area, has experience with investments, and has a pulse on the current market. I'm pre-approved and ready to go, but knowing what to pull the trigger on sounds daunting.
