That's really a very short window for brand new investors to gain any sort of traction and successfully get something done.

The amount of capital you have isn't really enough to get much traction in the Colorado market, but could really get you rolling out there. 

These aren’t pets, they are medical devices. 

You should do a great job at presenting how the market is performing and detail the absorption rates in your market and what type of offers are getting traction. 

It was getting good traction because it was close to Tacoma's military housing and appeared to have a lot of short stay military families that were using it.

However, as much of the computer market has migrated to mobile devices, and the rest has migrated to India, I've found myself laid off, and looking forward to a change of career (I start college again in a couple months).

Have you made any traction in this area or have you any insights in the Texas Tech area or other prospects withing TX?

There's been some investment activity, but not enough to gain traction yet.

Some of the local ones we recommend are CAZA Alexandria, Traction REIA Tysons, Capital City REIA and Fairfax Real Estate Networking.
