And you're getting tax benefits.So many of my first-time Colorado investors are afraid of looking stupid because they got a "bad deal."

Since you have more time than capital right now, consider side hustles like Airbnb co-hosting, property management for other investors, or even leveraging your nursing background to consult for mid-term rental owners.

If you want the 70% you could do a 50/50 over an 18 and co-invest 20% of the capital—then you’ll get 100% of 20% and 50% of 80% (over an 18).

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

Now, I’m full-time with Zuma Capital Group (ZCG), a company I co-founded to focus on acquiring and managing multi-family real estate investments.

I’m in the process of purchasing a second home in Aspen, CO, which will also serve as my first STR property.

I would guess many government workers are renters like law enforcement and state department as they rotate in and out of the field offices to DC.

Also I am the co leader of the Landlord Focus Group which happens once a month and you can come there to meet buyers.

I have a small landscape business (less than 7 workers) of over 30 years and have run my business out of my home for the past 25 of those years.

I am looking at a home in the Barnum neighborhood in Denver and am wondering if any investors in Colorado have insights on the area?
