Hi everyone! My name is Kirsten Burke and I am new to real estate investing. I live in the suburbs of denver, colorado, where the market is very high and I am having a hard time finding deals. My plan getting started is to fix and flip the first few homes and then switch to flip and hold so that I have a little extra financial cushion in case of an emergency, cant find a tenant, etc.. however I am having a hard time finding deals in this area and was thinking foreclosures may give me the best option for max roi. Does anyone have experience in foreclosures and where a rookie like me should look when just getting started? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and any advice you throw my way is greatly appreciated!

thank you, definitely did the numbers and not a great roi.  thank you for the information! just starting out so it is very helpful.

@Nicholas L. Yes it is. I love in the denver area so everything is fairly high. Projected rent is 3575

I am new to investment of real estate and saw an offer on bp for 525000 for a 4bed 2 ba duplex at 1633 sq ft. I was going to help my primary residence for a down payment and get a loan for the rest. No work is needed and would be a turnkey investment. Being how the market is so high I'm wondering if I should invest first in a fixer up for more profit and refinance once rehabbed or if this has a good potential for profit due to the location.
