So take my post with a grain of salt. 

@Anthony Caraballo I’m not a flipper so take it with a grain of salt.

These high-wage jobs stimulate growth for surrounding metro areas and lower- income residents which mattered to us because we were investing in workforce housing outside of the downturn, urban core.At 12.8% growth, Denver had the 3rd fastest growing population of young adults (18-34) in the country between 2010-2015 -- over 8 points above the national average(Brookings)The number of college-educated 25-34-year-olds in Denver increased from 163,000 in 2000 to 240,000 in 2012, a 46.6% increase (source: The Young and Restless and the Nation’s Cities).Out of the 51 largest metros studied, this percentage increase trailed only Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Nashville, Salt Lake Vity, and Las Vegas over the same period.Out of the top 15 metros with the largest populations of college-educated 25-34-year-olds,Denver’s growth rate was second behind only Houston at 49.8% — 17.5% above the national averageWith 240,000 college-educated 25-34-year-olds, Denver ranks 11th out of the top 51 largest Metros for total population.Denver has 4 of the top 20 zip codes with the Highest Increase in Millennial Populations in the US (source: Rent Cafe)I hope this helps shed some light on the impressive growth that Denver, and cities with similar fundamentals, have experienced in recent years.

How to know if your inspector is worth his salt.

I'm curious if paying slightly more for a property in an urban setting (in my case Salt Lake City) is a good investment over buying a slightly cheaper property in a steady growing suburban setting (in my case Sandy City, which is 20 minutes from Salt Lake City).

I would love to meet someone in Salt Lake City willing to mentor an inspiring investor.

@Rajan Chidambaram Siva,Take some people's opinions with a grain of salt.

@Fe Alexandra,I do my offers based on the seller's description of the property, but taken with a grain of salt. 

I am a newly licensed real estate agent in Salt Lake City Utah. 

Im negotiating with a seller here in salt lake that may be willing to sell subto, the mortgage is 1200 and they rent it for 1800,Im new so I dont have the experience to answer the nitty gritty questions, or work with their bank on due on sale clause issues, they also have a second lien from refinancing, the seller said they could take care of that, If anyone is interested in the property or has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
