Thanks again for introducing yourself!

Thanks Brandon. We've been searching online for any information we could gather regarding property investments and when we stumbled upon BP, we knew we hit the jackpot! Lots of valuable info and the limited time we've been on and searching the forum has been great.

Welcome Jeremy! Ha...love the analogy. Yes, it is incredibly addicting. My advice for Denver is just to ensure the numbers actually work (so you profit) on a property. Denver isn't known for good price-to-rent ratios, which affect your cash flow.

I just spent two weeks in Estes Park about a month ago. It was amazing! I felt like I was in a snow globe the whole time.

Thanks Ali. Since we've began our research here, we've noticed the price-to-rent ratios were not as good as we were hoping. Thanks to all the info here on BP, we've been using a spreadsheet to plug in values and run all the numbers to see if a property is worth looking into. There are some attractive deals out there, but it definitely takes some good digging.

We also checked out and really like your Hipster Investment site Ali. It's been bookmarked!

Thanks Louis,

Good luck w/ your relocation to Denver. We've looked into areas in the mountains (Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Winter Park) for vacation rental properties. It's tough to compare to our rental place in Maui since it's a big vacation destination all year there where as here in the mountains, it looks like it can be thin in the non-ski months.

Thanks Anson! We are looking into condos/ town homes and also SFHs. Pluses and minuses on each, so we are basically looking for a property that will give us a good Cap Rate.

Hi Everyone!

I just joined BP as my wife and I are new to investing in real estate. We have a condo in Kihei, Maui that we bought in 2012 and have been successful renting it out short term as a vacation condo. That success has us wanting more and we are now looking into investing in real estate locally here in the Denver metro area.

I own an IT support company and I'm also a stay-at-home Dad with our 4-yr-old daughter. My wife is a clinical pharmacist with the VA here in Denver.

Our immediate goal is purchasing our first rental property and eventually want to build our business and portfolio to 10- 20 properties over the next 7 years. I've been rental properties can be like chips, you just want more!

We have been browsing BP for about a week now and have already learned so much. We look forward to gaining more knowledge from the members here and will add any input when we can.
