I disagree with Joe, I think all information you need is FREE. that is what this entire website is about. How many podcasts and articles are here alone you could learn everything you'd ever need. There are more than enough people on the site to answer any questions you have or become web mentors to you. And there are all sorts of quality books out there. The seminars and programs are definitely not necessary to get quality information and in my opinion the people that take them don't often achieve massive levels of success in real estate because of them. @Joe Derosa, I'm happy to see that you are doing well as a result of the courses.

I have also done 3 lease options similar to Joe and Id tell you everything I know for the price of a beer haha. happy to motivate and teach entrepreneurs, I was there once and many people helped me get to where I am now.

Hey @Duncan McKay

Congratulations on getting started. Use this beginning motivation to fuel you into learning everything you can about the business.

I wouldn't completely rule out in state. One thing I've learned is that sometimes Me and my personality/ sales skills/ knowledge of real estate is what makes the difference between a seller choosing to go with me or offer me that low price or not. There are many benefits to staying in Colorado even if it is overpriced, and many ways to do it even if you don't have enough money yet. Keep hustling!

Hey @Patricia Miller

Don't give up hope! it is hard that is why not many succeed but push through the noise anyways. Deals are not easy to come by anywhere but that doesn't mean they don't exist. You just have to keep working hard. I invest heavily in Colorado Springs and Denver and would be happy to share some tips with you. Keep hustling :)

Hey @Logan Halliburton

probably a good decision to only pull the trigger if its an amazing deal. That is currently my stance on Pueblo. One flip I renovated there we found someone  breaking in and sleeping in one of the units at night and putting his blankets and pillows in the kitchen cabinets during the day.

@Jennifer Slaughter

Great job on your first rental property.

I have a few lease options rented out right now and have just used a lease I made on lawdepot.com and also a random website I found on google for background searches and eviction history.  How did you find your rental?

Hey @Tom Jeffries

great job making that offer and taking action on the 7 unit building. Sounds like a lot of people here are interested in how that goes. Maybe consider posting a new forum post on it and posting a link here for us to follow your updates on it.

Hope everything pans out for you.

Hey @Tesfa Measho

Congrats on joining and taking the mindset of a student. You will learn a lot on this site.

If you're interested I'd be happy to chat on the phone with you or meetup with you and share some tips and tricks I've learned over the past 2 years investing. You're on the right path though, keep it up.

Hey @Jim Barnard

Custom home construction sounds amazing, building something beautiful from nothing. There's a similar feeling I get when I renovate an old home but I would imagine its something completely different turning a dirt lot into a masterpiece.

I'd love to connect with you sometime about your goal of having rental properties. I come across rentals all the time that don't work for me as flips but would be perfect rentals for someone. Message me with your contact info and I will be in touch.

@Ken Croskey is this Seed Capital or something Different?

@Mike Tatman

Welcome to BP! I invest locally here in Denver as well as Colorado Springs. It is great that you already have experience in contracting. In my experience that will be mostly a good thing for you but you have to watch out because it could get in the way of faster success for you as well. Depending on how big you want to go you will have to start delegating more and more to other General contractors rather than be personally involved for every decision. doing this will help you get more volume in the long run.

message me if you want to connect and meet up some time.
