Hi @Devin Collins,I'll offer my thoughts on this portion,Loans: As far as private lending and hard money loans go how do you spot a bad deal?

Thanks,Joan

I am currently focusing on Denton County and Collin County, but would consider the adjacent counties.Thank you!

@Randall E Collins @Jay Hinrichs It looks like there IS contention overall, and won't be very profitable for either side unless we can forge some sort of a unicorn symbiotic relationship. 

William Collins Thanks for the response William.

@Collin Bryston AdamsDepends on what works for you for the area.

Interesting points raised in the comments section include: the strength and diversity of the region's economyGreat Recession of '08 barely made a dent in metro Denver housing prices and they recovered quicklythe disparity in prices between CO and the states where the influx of people keep coming from is too highWith regards to Fort Collins specifically, I would be tempted to add: the continuing expansion of CSU.

JOAN DICKIE Thank you, yes I will be at the same company that I've worked as a leasing agent as for the last two years.

The best like Fort Collins, CO are SUPER helpful and straightforward for doing a deep dive.
