Welcome to BP! I'd definitely recommend finding an investor friendly lender. You'd be amazed at the magic that an investor focused lender can work in securing financing for your investments!

Welcome to the community! I am from Minnesota, definitely understand your situation wanting something new. I'm a big advocate for house hacking, my wife and I are currently house hacking a 5 bed 2 bath house in Longmont, CO. 

As far as location advice, there are deals and ways to invest in any market. I've spent time in Arizona and Montana, and ended up buying in Colorado. It really depends on your comfort level. If your alright having roommates then you can buy a single family house like mine and rent by the room. This is a great way to get started and can be implemented in pretty much any market. 

Let me know if you have any specific questions or just want to connect! 

@Bob Lewis

Not personally but I’ve heard good things! So far they have been great on the communication front.

@Peter Jakel 

Welcome to the community! I'm always interested in connecting with other investors in Colorado.

Hey that sounds like a great start. Definitely continue to educate and be patient with the process. 

That's a great plan. Your kids are lucky to have you looking out for them like that! Hopefully you can connect with an investor friendly agent over there and they can help get you moving quickly.

Welcome to the community! It sounds like your already on a great track towards your goal of $2500/month. Do you plan to continue to use the rent by the room strategy? This is a great way to really stretch your cash flow. Also, if you do end up going multifamily you could use a mixed strategy. Live in one unit, while running a short term rental in your spare rooms. Then long term rent or rent by the room even for your other units. Lots of options out there to maximize returns, especially if you're willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort for a few years. 

Good luck!
