Denver, Colorado Investing Adive

[Kyle McGeough]

Hello all, I am looking to invest in the Denver area. My lease is ending in a few months, so I am looking in to buying a property with the thought of living in it for 1-2 years and then starting to rent it out. I am pre-approved for a $580,000 loan, but financially I am more comfortable with something around $450,000 or less. I am open to different options (condo/townhomes/single-family), but I am trying to find a place that does not have crazy high HOA fees ($400+). My goal is to enter the market and start learning the intricacies of owning a property before I eventually purchase more and start renting them out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
