Lurker emerging from Arlington, VA by way of Denver
I have been just reading in the background, but I figure I'll introduce myself now.
When I lived in Denver, I bought a duplex, lived in one side and rented out the other. Some good and bad experiences, but generally a great investment.
I've been saving up, I'm ready to invest again, but I decided to get smarter about REI before diving in this time. That's how I found Bigger Pockets! I especially have enjoyed the podcasts. I thought my Denver property was a pretty good deal, but I have now learned most of you investors would really cringe at my returns. I still think what I have is great, but now I'm much better prepared for a better deal!
One book I haven't seen much mention of is the richest man in babylon (but on the top books list). I've been automatically putting aside 10% of my paycheck for years.
I'll be looking to invest either in the greater DC area (Baltimore maybe? Or Richmond?) or in Denver. Thanks all!
