New member from Northern Colorado

[Dianne S.]

Hi Everyone,

I'm relatively new to active real estate investment although I've always kept up with the local home market. We've had commercial property owned jointly within a family but that was relatively passive as it was managed by another family member. Now we're getting ready to buy our first rental residential properties ourselves! Our goal is to buy 2-3 single family homes by the end of the year. Northern Colorado is a hot market, so any input on buying in a seller's market is welcome! We really want to buy here, as the forecast for appreciation in the next 10 years is looking dang good. And as newbies to the residential rental market, we want to be able to keep things close to home and really learn what we need to learn quickly.

I've been doing quite a bit of reading and have some established relationships here with a great realtor mentor, our mortgage lender, etc. We're getting our pre qualification done and starting to look soon.

I'm looking forward to meeting more of you here!
