Howdy!

This is a site that I have been following for a few years now, and I have finally decided to take action!  My real estate career consists of many years in custom home building, mostly on the design and management side.  After the crash in 2008, I went to work for the DoD as a construction QA inspector.  

My current goals are to BRRRR and to occasionally flip houses outside of the Denver metro area and in the mid west, where I have been eyeing areas from St Joseph down through Kansas City, Joplin, and in to Northwest Arkansas. The reasoning for these particular areas is I am originally from there, know the areas, and have friends and family that I get back to visit regularly.

I am currently getting the business side of things assembled and hope to acquire my first property within the next 90 days.  I look forward to connecting with and meeting some of the folks here, especially those from the Denver area that may be investing in the midwest!

Thanks, 

Brett

@Brett G. - welcome! BP is an awesome community to learn about the many different facets of real estate. It's really been opening about HELOCs, first time home buying, and different metrics for investing (cash on cash, cash flow, cap rate, etc.) It's a great place to be. 

I'm a real estate agent that works with clients in Denver metro (where I live) and Colorado Springs metro (where I grew up and my family still resides.) A lot of our clients want to talk to us about investing and the benefits of long term or short term renters, and we direct them all to Colorado Springs (looks like @Jenny Bayless likes the Springs too.) The homes are cheaper, it's appreciating fast, and they have great short-term rental laws.

If you want to discuss more, please feel free to message me. No pressure, just love talking about options and how Colo Spgs is becoming a really great place for investing.
