Military Homeowner in Colorado

[Bret Billings]

Hello,

Long time member, first time poster.

To be completely honest, I thought this site was a scam for the longest time until I started a new job with a long commute. I started listening to the podcast about a month ago and I'm about halfway through. I'm addicted.

I'm now convinced that this site is legit and one of the common themes during the podcasts and "quuuuuick tips" is to post and network. So here I am.

I'm a military guy in the Springs but, I just started working up in Aurora. I can't keep up this commute so this is an opportune time for me to do a couple of things. 

I own my home in the Springs and I plan on renting it out. It needs some work though, so if anyone knows a reputable contractor, send them my way!

I then plan to buy a duplex or at the very least a 3/2 very near Buckley AFB in Aurora. So I'll be looking for deals up there.

I plan on retiring in 12ish years and would like to supplement my retirement income with buy and hold rental properties.

As is also recommended on the podcast, in exchange for knowledge, I will gladly pay for coffee, lunch, dinner, beers, etc.

I could certainly use a mentor as I am just starting out in this game.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting and working with some of you in the future!
