Fresh Eyes in Denver, Colorado

[John Robison IV]

Hello BiggerPockets!

My name is John, I am an entrepreneur looking to gain insight into the opportunities in real estate investing. I grew up, live and work in Denver, Colorado, but spent almost a decade away in Boston for school (at Tufts), a startup (now defunct, called Junctions), and then three years afoot exploring the world, taking photos, sailing and leading cycling tours.

I am very green in this industry, and am excited by the resources and expertise to be found here at BiggerPockets. (Some weeks ago I saw Josh Dorkin speak at the Denver Founders Meetup at Galvanize and made a mental note to check this out.) 

I see myself starting small (Buy & Hold, possibly Flip), but I'd love to make my way into investing in larger commercial and international opportunities. Make no mistake - I have tons to learn before then. That's why is why I'm here.

Also, recently I found myself joining on as an early hire at a tech startup servicing the commercial real estate development industry, so what I learn will serve me in that regard as well.

I would be very grateful and inspired if anyone has any suggestions on how to get started. Of course I'll be reading and listening to as much as I can here, but if people have insight specifically into the Denver market (residential and commercial), or just want to say hi, I'd love to correspond. 

Best,
John Robison IV
