I am also attracted to Real Estate Investing because I can really be involved personally in this investment unlike other investments such as the stock market that have many external factors that you have no control over.

I don’t have a particular property or project that I’m looking to buy right now so there’s no rush, per se, but I’m always looking and would love to have access to capital should an attractive deal present itself.Thank you in advance to the Bigger Pockets community – this is the best real estate investing resource I’ve come across.

Colorado Springs in general attracts a large tourist crowd with Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Olympic Training Center, and 5 military installations to include the Air Force Academy.
