Here in Colorado, you need to have a real estate license, and in order to get your license you need to go through what basically amounts to an apprenticeship for two years (associate), before you can have your own firm.  

The property is 2 stories and 1,875 square feet and was constructed in 2024.

It had multiple offers the day it was listed (like everywhere) but now the financing of the buyer is falling through. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Later I was able to buy the vacant lot between for a grand total of about 2.4 acres.All the houses are in bad shape.

A buyer needed, I heard through the grapevine, $100M of liquid capital to acquire them for very darned little.

My strategy as an investor has changed over the years, today I look at real estate more like a collection of properties and less through the cash flow lens.

With no renovations required, we leveraged market demand to quickly resell the property the same day for $85,000.

Otherwise, just go through all the local/regional banks.   

Focus on the actual deal first.
