Hello from BP's backyard - Aurora, CO

[Gregory Flores, Jr.]

Hi everyone!

New to the forums, moved to Denver 3 years ago from NYC, and just got into a house-hack duplex townhouse with my fiancé in Aurora, so I've got the itch. We did get beat up though while trying to buy during the 2017 summer buying season, losing out on many other properties to cash deals before reaching a bit for the townhouse.

My day job is at Charles Schwab. I got my finance degree from a small city university in NYC called Baruch College. Since the day job is mostly process based and leaves me with some capacity, I've been able to listen to over 45 hours of BP in the last week and a half, and have just been enthralled by the depth and breadth of knowledge available there and on the forums.

My fiancé and I always have the argument about cash flow vs. appreciation, so I'm excited to learn and share victories or losses with the rest of BP Nation as I begin putting more effort into building generational wealth through real estate!

Thank you all!

Special thank you goes out to Joshua Dorkin for building the amazing resource and culture we call Bigger Pockets.
