When you are familiar with the market and real estate it's easy to forget the steep learning curve and perils faced by those without experience and limited knowledge.For several years I seriously looked at investing in Pueblo and finally decided I was too far away to operate there in the manner that fit the style that I use in Denver.

It is very dependent on your investment goals, style, tolerance, risk factors, convenience and so much more.
