Are you around? Any chance you could join us in Pueblo on Tuesday around 4 pm for a get together?

Any chance you can change your plans and come down on Tuesday around 4 pm? I already connected with @Jason Eberhardt and he isn't available on Thursday.

I don't live in Pueblo, but I love to invest there. Some others have talked about cost-of-living that is likely to continue to draw new residents and businesses over the long-term. There is plenty of sunshine, mountains, the lake and the riverwalk for recreation. There are educational institutions like CSU- Pueblo and Pueblo Community College. There are hospitals and a still a fair bit of manufacturing that is going on in the area of the steel mills.

People also talk about the decline of the steel mills, but the worst of those lay-offs happened in early 1980's. I heard something like 5,000 jobs were lost in that period. And yet the population of Pueblo city and Pueblo county have continued to grow. I'm from Ohio, where many of the industrial towns didn't survive the industrial lay-offs and now populations are half or a quarter of what they used to be. That didn't happen in Pueblo and I don't see it happening in future.

I appreciate @Robert Herrera and @Rick Thomas giving some local insight into the local market. I often get tired of people from northern Colorado speaking ill of Pueblo with little knowledge of the local market. When the next bubble pops, I would much rather be invested in Pueblo than Denver.

@Kalem Lenard 

Sorry we will miss you.

@Jason Eberhardt and I are going to meet up in Pueblo at 4 pm on Tuesday, July 18th. Others are welcome to join. We need to choose a good local place to meet where we can enjoy some food and drinks.

Hello everyone,

I'm in Colorado for another week or so. I've been investing in Pueblo, Colorado for the last three and a half years.

I would like to organize an informal get together for Pueblo investors in Pueblo. I'm thinking Tuesday, July 18th or Thursday, 20th around 5 or 6 pm. We could grab a meal or a drink and discuss property managers, contractors, lenders, Realtors, attorneys and all things having to do with Pueblo Real Estate investing. I'm inviting a number of others from BP in Pueblo to see if we can make happen. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks Ken. The deed of trust and promissory note I've been using in Colorado was drawn up by an attorney in Colorado. I'm looking for a RE attorney in Ohio who can revise them for Ohio or create new ones for me.

Hey Sam,

Crazy that this has drug on so long. I now have three properties that need to go through Quiet Title, but I have started the process yet. I will send you the contact in a PM that I am planning on using.
