@Mario Garaffa and @Bryan Oliver There are definitely plenty of options out in the market right now.

In my case, I grew up in a poor area of the country (declared to be an economic disaster zone by the Johnson Administration in the 1960s [today, it's part of the Rust Belt]).

@Bryan Devitt That is good information - I am waiting for the 6 month mark with this new job before getting my pre-approval letter.

My PM was fine with one of my rental's mailbox being rusted. 

@Bryan Cork For the Denver metro, homes have appreciated at 6.3% a year (from 1971 to 2014) and condos at 5.3% (1972-2014).

Hi Bryan, You might be able to find a deal that meets the 2% rule outside of the cities but it is very uncommon. 

Also, when we looked in the basement there was a little bit of water (the sump pump wasn't running as the utilities were off), and there was a considerable amount of rust on the bottom portion of the boiler and two water heaters; all of which didn't look old at all otherwise.Soon after that we put in an offer. 

Bryan,IMHO seminars are a waste of time and money.
