Call the town/city hall.

Out of the 50 addresses zero will probably be interested in selling so it's a numbers game before you find the one. 

On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

Looking to upgrade my game and speed is of the essence.

If able, speak to them face-to-face at their work, your kids soccer game, church, whatever.

If I could rewind 7 years, I would’ve personally scooped up another property near downtown...prices were more forgiving back then.All that said, I’m curious..if you were getting back in the game today, would a condo with strong amenities but an unpredictable HOA top your list, or are you eyeing single-families for that full control?

I have smelled it in the halls and in the other tenants air vents.

Hopefully, 2025 will reward us all who have stayed in the game. 

If your game plan is to pay it off with prepaying all your money you absolutely need a HELOC however don't need to use.

But realized there's no perfect timing unless you are already in the game).
