We do not market ourselves to new homeowners per se. 

I don't know anything about Denver/CO so this is not an opinion on the stated terms.I don't have answers on debt per se., I think the key is going to be finding a lender/product that is ok with your experience--your owner/operator resume.

Would love to meet some Bigger Pockets contributors as I learn more about this business.I am a CPA by trade and not new to investing per se - my full time job is working for a private equity lender to lower middle market companies (debt + equity).

I've was a investor in past years but got out to transition into the tach space, I mostly invested in SE but now live in LA.

I would be nervous for anyone, and even myself if I ever did have to, to approach a financial advisor and hire them per se to see their opinion for the next steps within my portfolio.

Reason being, you will likely not be able to generate enough cashflow in the MW or SE to make an impact on your ability to save money compared to what you can do if you house hack.The beauty about house hacking locally as it is a hedge against your market's cost of living, AND you will more than likely pay less than what you would if you are renting.I wouldn't be too worried about finding a multifamily property either.

Thanks, Fereidoon Angoory SE PE Striveeng.com

Apparently he tried several things and none of them worked but he stopped responding to us after about two months so no explanaition per se from him.

SE Florida has a reputation of being attractive to retirees and snowbirds (Boca in particular is locally referred to as "New York South").

If you like Idaho for the favorable laws and relatively good tenant base, you may want to consider SE Idaho.
