As you age money becomes less of a number one spot motivation to experiences and memories.

I mainly bought it so that my parents can have less to manage and go to at a resort- less steps, maintenance as they age etc.

What’s the age of the properties?

With baseline green yellow red based on age.  

I’m very content and happy where I’m at right now but would eventually like to move back to that neighborhood as both my aging parents live there.

Our goal is to acquire 5 properties by age 35, and we want as many of them as possible to be in Denver.

Those type of buyers are trying to beat the bank for yield they can get there.I typically ask what a potential clients goals are with their current income from a job or business, age, family info, how much passive income they want to eventually achieve annually, current net worth, and liquidity levels.

If I were 30 years younger (your age) I would look to experienced intelligent investors to help guide me.

The average age of the number 1 single family home owner is greater than 2010 and less than 15 years old and they are now building homes new construction and owning them. the exact opposite of your strategy. older homes are the cheaper ones and unless you have experience I'd build in columbus close to downtown. same reason Toledo and Cleveland don't move the needle and there aren't 100 institutions in those markets. columbus is barely on the radar.
