Long Time Listener, First Time Caller

[Clinton J. Andersen]

1. Hello! I'm Clinton and I currently live in Commerce City. I have a townhouse in Denver (Tower and 64th) that's been under build for the last two years (tell me about it) that I will hopefully STR when it's done. After that, I want to look at markets all over the place and acquire multiple STRs and then some long term holds.

2. My biggest goals for joining BiggerPockets is to discover the things people are doing, how they’re doing it, and to feed the drive to keep pushing forward! 

3. I own my own wedding business as a side hustle!

Hey, @Clinton J. Andersen! Welcome to the BP Forums - lots of knowledge and expertise at your fingertips here! Congrats on the place in Denver - I can only imagine what a pain it's been waiting for the property to be built but I'm sure it will pay off (literally) once it's up and running as an STR!

My fiancè and I got started with a house hack in Englewood. Our approach was a bit unique as we purchased the property to turn it into a group living home, which we did shortly after moving into the property! The cool thing about our model is that we charge a typical rental rate per bed instead of per room - it is common for group living situations to have at least one roommate per room. PLUS, we were able to marry two things we're very passionate about - real estate investing and helping people :) We've rinsed and repeated this model and now have three properties under our belt and are circling in on a quadplex that we will use to do the same. 

Very cool about your wedding business! Is that something you could incorporate into your real estate goals? I have a contact out in Vermont that owns a bit of land and they absolutely crush it hosting weddings!
