@Natasha Hunter Just started listening to Notemba recently, on show 18 right now, and it has been inspirational/educational.  Did you feel ready to invest after finishing Scott Carson's camp/webinar?

I'm biased toward the south east, particularly Mississippi.  Many Cities in Alabama/Mississippi/TN are experiencing growth and their house cost has yet to meet the increase in population.  More jobs are coming to the area and rents are going up.  Specific areas I would look at are Birmingham, AL Hattiesburg, Jackson and Oxford all in Mississippi

I have not taken it but I have heard great things about it.  I'm looking into it as well.

@Dave Van Horn Insurance Contracts?  This is something I have not heard of before.  Is this in a similar realm as Notes/Tax LIens or something different entirely.

I have mine parked in Ally Bank with 1.25% interest, like many others in this thread.  Have had them for a few years with no complaints.

Ally bank, 1.25%.  Not great but it's something for my emergency fund.  If you would like to know how much you will earn on $60K, use an interest calculator like one on "the calculator site" to help.

@Bob Malecki Thank-you for the suggestion!  I was looking over the schedule and it looks like it will be a great weekend.

I don't have any on the schedule yet, but I'm hoping to attend my first Note conference in 2018.   Are there any that people recommend?

As many have already said.  It is going to be EXTREMELY difficult to find anything for $80K per door in Denver.  Without it being a total re-build in a not pretty area.  I would suggest looking outside of Denver, either farther north or south.  Castle rock is a good area and close to Denver still, though it's prices are also currently going up.  The next stop would be Monument but it is a very small town of about 10,000.  After that you hit Colorado Springs which is about an hour to an hour and a half depending on the area your looking at.  House in CS aren't as high as Denver but they are starting to see the creep since many homebuyers are getting priced out of the Denver and Denver's suburbs are going farther south.

On another hand, there are many real estate groups in the area that you can meet up with network and meet fellow investors.  Also, WELCOME to Colorado!   Why did you choose Colorado to move to?
