Hi, I'm Alan and I'm new from Colorado

[Alan Pettyjohn]

Hello,

I originally became interested in Real Estate Investing about 20 years ago but before I got things going I got a job that dominated my time for 19 years so my dream got put on a shelf.  One thing I did gain through that time was business and managerial experience that I'm sure will help me going forward.  Looking back I wish I had worked less hours and devoted more time to this, had I I'm sure I would be in a much better place now.  Well, I am now out of that industry and become an entrepreneur and am ready to dive in!

I have now invested quite a bit of time, energy and money on educating myself on the subject and feel I have a pretty well rounded knowledge base. My trouble now is capitol more than anything.  I allowed my other revenue streams to dwindle while I was educating myself here.  So now I am trying to figure out where to come up with working capital.

Some people seem to think that there are no good deals in Colorado as the market has been so hot here but I know that is not the case.  The deals are harder to find and the price point has been pushed up quite a bit making entry into the market here more difficult but there is still a lot of money to be made.  

I went through a foreclosure 6 years ago which of course hurt my credit badly but it is slowly getting better.  Any advice on the best next moves would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Alan
