I have some property in Wheat Ridge as well as West Denver.

They did a huge renovation of my primary 3 years ago and more recently did such a nice job on  a cosmetic rehab on Heather Ridge the unit leased $100/mo over market.

Hi Kayla,I live just down the road in Wheat Ridge.

I am considering investing in south suburbs of Chicago including Chicago Ridge, Oak Lawn, Hickory Hills areas.

BUT IF YOU INSIST on owning the place you lived in for quite a while which could be done in a profitable way it will cost you a lot of headaches... and whatever you do try to talk you landlord into letting you and your family stay a little longer while the agent tries to get the 700k and if he gets 6 or 650 he is lucky and your screwed but i doubt he will sell it above 500 and if you buy it for 500 maybe he can cary a note and make a deal with you to get approved easier for 300k and he can have cash now pay off his loan and still have monthly income from the property that he won't own anymore....It may be a way to convince him into cutting the price and selling to you...GOOD LUCK and don't rush into it i know some crazy sales are happening in bay ridge for whatever reason but when i see a bunch of 2 families sold for 3-400kish and than one or 2 show to be sold for 1.2 million plus it could be a talented investor or just evidence of money laundering although thats nearly impossible to prove... i think i actually heard something about that on NPR  :)

People are coming to also see the water falls, adorable small towns to walk through, and the Blue Ridge.

(See this post about Arvada, this about Wheat Ridge, and here about two other Airbnb-friendly cities.) 

While tucked away in seclusion amongst gorgeous rolling hills, we are perfectly positioned just minutes away from the exciting downtown Staunton and centrally located to Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the cities of Charlottesville, Harrisonburg and Lexington.

I am a real estate investor from Tennessee, Knoxville ad Oak Ridge area, looking for education on how to get funding, build my buyers/sellers lists, and do rehabs/flips or wholesale.

Ironically I moved from Wheat Ridge, Colorado where I see you are currently living.
