Start networking with local investors and attend investor meetups.

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups? 

The open houses I attended for flips recently - their  costs were around $300,000 for a major renovation  in 2024.

With you being an out of state investor, I assume based off your Denver location, it is vital that your property manager does their due diligence beyond just getting a rental verification.

Here's a little update: I've joined multiple investing groups on Facebook in hopes of attending meetups and finding property listings.

GOREIA and CFRI are REIA's in the area but they cost money to join and attend.

I attended one of Kris' free webinars and even got on a call with one of his reps.

I house hack in Denver, Colorado and I airbnb my property.

I always recommend attending local meetups when you're first getting started.

Agents may also have macro data on historical data, local median sale prices, absorption rate, etc to help with your analyses and projections.Networking/build a team: Attend local meetups, virtual meetups and stay active on forums like this.A lot of this will be done in front of a PC unfortunately but if you cut out the noise, you'll be able to maximize your time.Lastly, something that has helped me tremendously with respect to focus and improving efficiency is the pommodor technique.
