Hi Everyone! The Denver Women's Meetup is finally happening! Please mark your calendars for September 24th @ 6:30pm! We'll have the topic and exact location provided in the next couple weeks. 

This group is to help foster a community of women looking to learn more about investing (real estate and other topics), network with like-minded individuals, and have fun!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! AND PLEASE- pass the word along!

@Heather Dane & @Molly Murphy you got it!

@Megan Blythe @Amy Trevino I'll add you to the list!

@Morgan Wallace - awesome! i'll add you to the list and I should have dates and location shortly!

@Rita Medeiros thanks, Rita! Would love to experience your local meetup if I’m ever in the area!

@Erin Spradlin thanks Erin! You might just be our first speaker if you’re up for it!

@Mindy Jensen @Liz Faircloth

I've met some wonderful ladies on these forums that are seasoned investors, fearless beginners, and everything in between. I'd like to start a networking and learning meetup once a month for any ladies interested in expanding their network, learning from professionals or seasoned investors, or just having a drink with like-minded women!

If you're interested in helping to facilitate the meetup, being a speaker, or joining, reply to this post or shoot me a message! Looking forward to meeting you all!

@Sarah Damico This sounds really exciting! I live in Arvada and have a rental property there as well. I agree with Chris, $500K seems like A LOT especially if there's work to do, but like Chris, I don't know where the property is located in Arvada.

You may also be able to close the gap a bit by offering seller financing for the property- allows you to skip the mortgage with a bank and all the closing costs that come along with it.

One thing I would recommend is finding a real estate attorney- if this is your first home purchase and you're not going to be using realtor services, you may want to have someone creating contracts on your behalf and counselling you during the process.

I'm happy to talk more if you want some more advice on Arvada or want to hear more on the rental we have. Happy to help!

@Andrew Angerer first off, great question and post! Clearly hits home for a lot of us.

I've just recently stared to invest out of state (Denver is just WAY too expensive even though I love living here) and have THE hardest time getting people to call me back or act quickly on anything. Everything seems to be selling instantaneously and with the lag time from "team members" it's hard to get something under contract.

I'm moving to direct mail where I can hopefully find something off market, thus eliminating the urgency and need to rely as much on others to help find/negotiate the deal. We'll see how it goes!
