I am from Denver ( just south actually in Littleton ), I have this month purchased my first two rental SFH's.

I am in Ct hnd have had to travel all over the place to attend seminars, and as much as i hate go, i always learn the most when i see, someone talk.

But, it may produce an "echo boom" sort of effect when the protection expires.There have been a series of series in the Denver Post that talks about the whole foreclosure situation.

I'm seeing tons of them here in Denver as well.

You should definitely attend one or more.

I love to travel and spend time with friends & family and I see how a healthy portfolio of rental properties that is properly set up will allow me to do that.My life currently revolves around real estate and business as I'm working my way through a mile-high stack of books, constantly read blogs & newsletters, and frequently attend educational seminars & networking events.

Those sound like quite common things to see if you attend auctions regularly.There's usually at least big fish that wants to knock any newbies out by driving the prices up.

We choose a single female,27 years old, that had a good steady job and was also attending collage She has been living here for 3 months now and has been a great tennent.

I have sent an email to the REIA I attend and my next step is to post an ad on CL.
