First buy in Denver

[Matt Giannino]

Hey! I am a business minded person looking to know everything there is about real estate. I have been involved with startups and the stock market. Regarding my first property to buy and live in I was wondering where I should be looking. REOs, foreclosures, or selling by owner? This would be in the Westminster, Lafayette, or Louisville area. Would love to get to know some knowledgeable real estate professionals as well! Please let me know of meet ups or good groups I can get to know. Thanks! Matt Giannino

You should be looking all over the place. There are deals to be had if you are actively looking or hire an agent to help you. Your first step would be to speak with a lender, like @Jared Bouzek , to see what you qualify for. Westminster is reasonable, but Lafayette, Louisville, etc start to really jump in price. Price will dictate everything.

Several of my clients are house hacking with great success. They are getting anywhere from $650-$700+ per room. HERE is a good read by one of them. We are now in the process of selling one and upgrading into a larger home to house hack and airbnb.
