Noob from Denver

[Colin Carr]

In January I ended up getting uber lucky and snagged a remodeled duplex and am currently house hacking. This is my first real estate deal, but I'm loving the low cost of living because my renters pay ~70% of my mortgage. 

My interests aren't so much wanting to quit my full time day job as much as I am just trying to make some passive income in case I lose my job and also for future retirement purposes. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be good enough at it that I may quit, but for now that's not the purpose. 

My main interest is to buy and hold to make some cash flow on rentals. Denver is obviously a hot market right now, so I'm looking at potentially buying out of state.
