Yes I'm new to the Real Estate game, other than my own home of course.  The Wife and I purchased a business 3 years ago, and now we are looking at getting into real estate.  Specifically commercial. Specifically retail... to support our retail store. 

Seems Denver doesn't have a very active forum, so reach out if you are in the area.
