Looking to house hack in Colorado - Any advice on location?

[Haley B.]

Hi everybody! 

My boyfriend and I are looking to move out of state, and Colorado is one of our top choices. We'd like to start our real estate investing career with by house hacking a duplex or triplex.

What are some neighborhoods/cities we should be looking at? 

Our budget is $250K and we'd be looking to cashflow or at least break even.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

@Haley B. I would recommend getting something central or downtown if it’s just your boyfriend and you. Colorado Springs has such a great little downtown. Square footage, separate bathrooms, kitchenette, seperate utilities, home separation/ divider walls etc all come into play when finding the right house hack. Depending on your budget I’d house hack in a nicer area like the Broadmoor, downtown, old north end, old Colorado city, briargate, etc. and do a throughout background check as well.
