Newbie investor in Colorado Springs, CO

[Matt Ashton]

I am a military member and arrived here in Colorado Springs in Summer 2015.  I grew up in Arvada, CO and am happy to get back to CO after years away.   We intend to retire here so we will be here long term. 

Experience

I have one other single family rental in Texas that was previously my residence so that was an easy transition.  I attempted to invest in a multifamily in Pueblo a few years back but a bad inspection made the financials too risky and I walked away.  I was geographically separated at that point and it made the prospect of renovation too much to take on at that point.  

Real Estate Goals

I am most comfortable with single family residences but I am interested in multifamily and condo/townhome rentals as buy and hold as well.  Managing the properties is definitely not a passion of mine so I am interested in finding a good property manager to manage any future properties if possible.  

Currently Seeking

Investment opportunities in buy and hold real estate.  I have limited capital at the moment for seed money but I am actively working towards that goal.

Hey @Matt Ashton

I am in the military as well and stationed here at Schriever AFB.

I do a lot of investing in Colorado Springs and Denver, mainly fix and flips and have a few lease option single family homes.

How are you doing your learning. Have you read the books: Millionaire real estate investor and ABC's of real estate investing? great books. also anything by trump on the subject of real estate, especially the ones on audible where he narrates.

Id love to meet up and discuss strategies. @Daniel Eisman maybe we can combine our meeting and all meet up. What the hell, we'll just start a REIA while were at it.
