Hey everybody! I currently work for a vacation rental company, where I speak with prospective homeowners all day. From anyone that had a home passed down in their family to real estate investors with tons of properties. It definitely sparked my interest in real estate investing. I was introduced to the biggerpockets podcast about 4 months ago, but started listening more frequently about a month ago. I bought Brandon's book, "Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down", and I have almost finished it within a week. I'm hooked. Also, my fiancé and I have been looking for a house, to start building equity and be on the other side of renting. Unfortunately, multi-family homes are hard to come by in Denver (We are also being picky on our location because my fiancé works in Boulder and doesn't want to commute an hour+ each way).  I have started exploring other areas to purchase a multi-family home in, but long distance investing is definitely scary. I am new to all of this, and not afraid to admit it. I am also someone that is willing to learn, so I am focusing on the resources I have at hand to learn something new everyday! I look forward to talking with some bigger pockets members and hopefully meeting some of you in the near future.
