Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house...

The rate the intelligence is growing is out of this world.

If you're having to go out and "raise" your entry fee, you might want to think about other investments until your cash grows.

Growing up on one of the Ranch's in Northern Ca my dad bought to develop 2k acres.

It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

There is strong rental demand because of growing population, job market, and the booming tech scene. 

This is a great area with plenty of opportunities to grow as an investor.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about deals, strategies, or just connect with other local investors.

Right now its slim pickings in real estate for properties that will cash flow or see any significant appreciation. of course they are always out there but a lot harder to find.The other question is why do you want to continue to grow?

When you start, the company may give you a small existing portfolio, but then you'll have to maintain & grow it to make a decent living.You could also work as a leasing agent at an apartment complex.

I'm still in the process of growing my portfolio, but have heard others 1031 all their smaller properties into a larger building and have a property management company manage, OR, set up a seller financing deal with another buyer that gives you the cash flow you desire.
