Costs are too high and I'm into this for over 100K.I have feelers out for someone who might accept my lot as participation for an equity agreement in a new build.

Just make sure you account for Denver’s higher property taxes, insurance costs, and the ever changing landlord regulations when running your numbers.Feel free to ask more questions about the area or strategies—I’ve helped clients with similar goals and have personally done house hacks and short-term rentals around Boulder and Denver.

If a warranty deed has been filed or even a memorandum of sale or a lis pendens, it makes getting clear title virtually impossible without the co-operation of the one who filed or having assistance from an attorney and maybe a long, costly, lawsuit.

@Mike FigueroaI’m 54 and have scaled up by pulling equity out of what I’ve got (with cash out refis) so the new properties didn’t cost me anything out of pocket.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.
