The property was finally sold to a developer who built a 3-story structure housing 6 condos that sold for half a million each.Getting variances is quite time consuming in our area and I attended quite a few community board meetings which one has to attend before going to a zoning board meeting.

I was in a similar situation when I wanted to start investing but didn't have a primary yet and lived in unaffordable Denver...I ended up investing out of state.

Labor costs are 20-30% higher than my core market in Denver, which was very surprising to me, which makes finding a PM that has in house maintenance, electrical, plumbing, HVAC very valuable. 

My name is Ty Coutts, and I am a loan officer in Denver.

If you're looking for local investors to connect with, this is the place, but I also recommend attending local investor meetups and seminars.

I will be attending the SF bay area investors club monthly meetup this Wednesday @ 6:30pm.

Networking is the name of the game, so definitely attend as many local meetups as you can.
