Introduction - Again

[Nathan Thompson]

Hi all, 

I introduced myself a couple years ago, but due to a career change and a planned move, never did much else.  My goal for the past couple years has been to move to Colorado for the good life of skiing, climbing, and skydiving. So, I'm finally making the move this summer after getting my teaching certification and some experience and securing a job (somewhere in Denver, hopefully west in the Lakewood area).

I'm interested in buying shortly after I get to the area this summer.  I'm in no rush, but would like to at least start learning more about the market and maybe connect with a few people before I go.  

I'm interested in building a portfolio of cash flow properties, but I'm not sure what the best area to specialize in would be. I have VA loan benefits, so ideally I'd look into multifamily, but understand the numbers don't quite work in the area. I'm also open to buying a house and having roommates cover the mortgage to get started, which is similar to what I do now in Maryland.

Long story short, I have some ideas of what I'd like to do, but like many others, am not sure where to get started.  So, here I am!  Looking forward to the move!
