I live on the border of Denver and Lincolnton on Hwy 150.

I would do it again but it was a gamble not seeing inside of house etc however it selling tommorow and it cost attorney fees, for mediation and that's about all that was extra since was an ejectment and not eviction.

You can cheat/gamble when you've got the cash and experience and still want to, but I wouldn't recommend it on your first one. 

You're welcome @Lisa Perez PM me if you're still interested and I'll put you in touch with my accountants who specialize in cross-border accounting. 

I'd much rather invest for a 1% rule with the help of people I know and trust. 2% rule is not worth the gamble, if you don't have a team.

In fact, I know it can, because my contractor just did a large scale flip himself on the Mountain View / Los Altos border for $250/SF.

Most of the HOA bids I see, where the mortgage foreclosure has not started, or recently started, equal 1 1/2 to 2 years of rent....doesn't seem to be a good gamble.
