Hi Everyone!
I just joined BP as my wife and I are new to investing in real estate. We have a condo in Kihei, Maui that we bought in 2012 and have been successful renting it out short term as a vacation condo. That success has us wanting more and we are now looking into investing in real estate locally here in the Denver metro area.
I own an IT support company and I'm also a stay-at-home Dad with our 4-yr-old daughter. My wife is a clinical pharmacist with the VA here in Denver.
Our immediate goal is purchasing our first rental property and eventually want to build our business and portfolio to 10- 20 properties over the next 7 years. I've been rental properties can be like chips, you just want more!
We have been browsing BP for about a week now and have already learned so much. We look forward to gaining more knowledge from the members here and will add any input when we can.

Welcome Jeremy! Ha...love the analogy. Yes, it is incredibly addicting. My advice for Denver is just to ensure the numbers actually work (so you profit) on a property. Denver isn't known for good price-to-rent ratios, which affect your cash flow.
I just spent two weeks in Estes Park about a month ago. It was amazing! I felt like I was in a snow globe the whole time.
