Shawn from Denver - Longmont
Hi! I'm new to the board but not new to renting. I've been renting a small house in Denver for over 10 years. I fell into the property and renting quite by accident. The house was left to me, mortgaged to the hilt and in dire need or some repairs, it's been a journey to be sure. With the Denver market, it's now to the point that I can actually start making some monthly income from it as opposed to collecting rent simply to pay the mortgage.
I also have a property in Longmont that I rent as well. I completely renovated that one while living in it and thought I'd be staying but life changes allowed me to move elsewhere and still keep the house. Now I'm in a position where I can start looking at buying another property. Ideally, I'd like to get duplex.
I joined this forum because every time I ended up doing any kind of an internet search, more often than not, I ended up on this site and getting the right answer/advice. I look forward to meeting and interacting with everyone!
