Yes, it has some rough parts, but the further you get from the center, the better the neighborhoods get - especially the west side.  

It doesn't make any sense to charge a well prepared investor 6% when they know how to stage the property properly, and price it right from the beginning.Would love to help you but unfortunately i am not in your area:(

Still in the early stages.

If you're looking for a firm that specializes in real estate, the only alternative that I know of is Richey May down in the Denver Tech Center.

I'm in the education stage of Real Estate Investing and still trying to put my strategy together.  

We host a free monthly real estate investing meet-up in Westbury, NY centered around multifamily mostly, but we do have quite a bit of networking as well.

I rent a storage building for my staging furniture and they have a large lot full of motor homes, boats, trailers, cars, trucks, etc.Another idea if you like farming and the land will support it would be to put some kind of livestock on it (cows, goats, etc).  

I'm at the learning stage and excited to move to the next stage and find some deals.

Someone I know has a condo in North Center/Roscoe Village area, good street, nice 3 unit building.

At this stage in their lives, it's all about cash flow.
