The problem was it took him  3 month longer than he quoted and it wasn't because materials took long to come in or bad weather.

So last week I attended a real estate forecast put on by one of the local real estate investment groups.I was a little apprehensive going to the event because I knew I was a newbie and so did everyone else in the room when they saw the glazed over look I had in my eyes as I surveyed the crowd in hopes of finding a welcoming place to sit.

Can you weather that storm with this strategy?

@Colton Scott Welcome to Denver where our weather is awful, and our football team is worse.

(These data represent the sectors that differentiate the state from the U.S. average forecast.)

I cannot calculate ROI, CoCR, IRR, etc or other long term forecasts that will help gauge when best to sell and help plug in future cap expenses.

Do you have enough w2 income to weather the storms, do you need/want extra cash every month or is it a long term play? 

If you buy with good equity, and the house puts off a reasonable positive cash flow after all of your expenses, that should be a good investment that can weather storms.

I mean, you wouldn't have to pay for a roof, the main entrance to each unit is inside, unexposed to the weather, etc.  

I miss it sometimes, even the weather.
