New to RE in Colorado Springs

[Justin Wenzel]

Hey everyone! After listening to BP and other finance/real estate podcasts, I finally decided to get myself in gear and get active on here. I am currently looking to buy my first house in Colorado Springs, CO where I am currently stationed in the military. I have been reading about the VA loan, and studying the local area to see the different types of properties. My goal is to buy a house (3 bedroom, 2 bath minimum), house hack by having a few roommates, and then when I get orders to move, keep the house and rent it out and hopefully make money off of it. Going onto realtor.com, zillow.com, etc and looking at houses is easy, but I am working on becoming familiar with the tools that BP has on here to see if a specific property is actually worth it, and using the calculators to understand what is actually affordable / doable. Thanks for reading!
