Hi @Mathew Fuller

Fort Collins has historically been a challenging market for house hacking due to the stringent YOU+2 occupancy regulations. However, with the recent statewide legislation removing maximum occupancy limits, Fort Collins has become an attractive market for house hacking.

Although property prices in the area are on the higher end, the strong demand for rentals, particularly among students and young professionals, makes this an excellent opportunity. House hacking in Fort Collins allows you to offset mortgage costs, build equity faster, and potentially generate additional income, all while taking advantage of the city's vibrant rental market. This strategy could be particularly beneficial if it aligns well with your financial goals and personal situation.

Reach out and we can go over your specific situation and goals to see if Fort Collins makes sense for you. 

Hey @Hitesh Gupta - There are A LOT of community/meetup opportunities in the Denver Area. You can go up top here on BP to the "Forums" tab and then click on "Events/Meetups" and you'll find plenty of meetups depending on what area you are in. 

If you are interested in going a bit north of Denver, I host a monthly local Meetup in Longmont CO. You can find details on that one here: 

We meet on the last Thursday of every month from 6-9 PM at different locations around Longmont. Most recently I've been hosting at my recent rehab project.

@Heather Szucs - There are plenty of flip opportunities in the Denver Metro area depending on the size of project you are comfortable with. You'll find that there are plenty of large scale wholesale companies, but also smaller wholesalers that tend to source deals with larger spreads. I'll send you a DM and see if I can help you out in anyway. 

Hey @Nikki Mata and thanks for the shout out @Grant Schroeder! Are you still looking for some guidance on your properties? I'm an investor focused agent here in Colorado and have been investing here as well for nearly 4 years now. I'd be happy to look over what you have going on and point you in the right direction for getting those offloaded. Are you looking to 1031 these properties into another market? 

Hey @Brandon C. -  It's great that you're planning ahead and saving for your first house hack. Submitting your 60-day notice should give you enough time to find and close on a property, but it will be tight. Here are a few tips to help you consider: 

Get Pre-Approved: If you haven't already, get pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you a clear idea of your budget and make your offers more competitive.

Work with an Agent: Consider finding a real estate agent who specializes in the areas you're interested in. They can help you find listings faster and navigate the buying and after closing setup process. You'll also get access to off market deals that typically have less competition. 

Expand Your Search: Denver is competitive, so looking in areas like The Springs and Fort Collins can give you more options.

Stay Flexible: Be prepared to move quickly when you find a property that fits your criteria. Having a flexible schedule can help you view properties and submit offers promptly, especially with your time crunch situation. 

Good luck with your search and feel free to reach out if you need more advice or assistance!

Hey @Allen Duan - DM Sent. I've got 1 STR in Longmont and a handful of clients/investor friends around the Northern CO region running the STR/MTR model. Happy to provide some insight on the state of the STR/MTR market here as regulations change drastically from city to city.
