Not new to BP but possibly new to Durango,

[Eric Neal]

Hi, everyone,

I'm reaching out because my wife and I are heading to Durango, Co from Garland (Dallas), TX March 3 through March 6 for a job interview with a local bank!  We are SUPER excited and hope I get an offer but, as we do more research, there are all kinds of questions:

We'd like to know people:

- I hope BP can help with this some.  We are currently trying to start a family and our plan is for my wife to stay home until our youngest is school age.  She is FANTASTIC at making friends and I'm decent but it would be great to have some folks to grab dinner with when we get up there.  If anyone is free Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th, reach out!

Where the heck are we going to live?!

- We originally thought we would find a tiny apartment in town so we could more easily get entrenched.  After seeing all of the sub-1% rule rentals though, we wonder if a tiny condo in the $150,000 - $200,000 range makes sense with the expectation that some of the housing permits that have been proposed for 2017 and beyond pan out.  We would be very interested in seeing some options over the weekend so if there are any agents or brokers looking to make new client-friends please message me!

Assuming this happens, I'd love to do some business! (If this violates BP solicitation rules, please let me know and I will edit.)

- I've been in commercial and real estate banking almost a decade.  The bank is well-capitalized and hungry.  I'd love to meet investors, business owners, real estate agents, CPAs, insurance brokers, Moms, Pops, happy employees, satisfied customers and everyone in between!

Thanks for the time, BP!
