Where to find hard or private money in Denver?

[Kevin Ravenscroft]

My wife and I are both 26 and make 52k and 70k a year respectively. We are looking to buy our first investment home and currently have about 10k saved towards it. We can consistently save a minimum of 2k per month as we have recently paid off all debt except for our current mortgage.

Would you guys recommend continuing to save or leveraging in order to make our first buy? A little nervous to use someone else’s money on something I have little experience with, other than on here and the books I have read. Hopefully you can give us some insight into how you all went into your first deal and the risks you took.
