I'd love to hear from any Colorado real estate agents on which area they recommend from a pure appreciation standpoint.

The interest rates seem to be exactly the same whether it's a "second/vacation home" or a pure investment. 

I haven't used the others so I'm purely going off of what I have heard. 

Only other advice I have — strategize without the goal of pure cash flow.

That said, that is purely from a risk standpoint. 

If I am only cash flowing on a property, (purely hypothetical) $200 a month, and my rent is $1000, after a year $2400 cash flow is almost cut in half just by the tenant placement fee.

As a pure investment, I don't like it, though.

Purely financial motivations, like finding a great deal, are not.

Is there a play where you would hold onto the ADU purely for the cash flow? 

@Taylor Tomaso you said it's a house hack, which would mean it's your personal residence.Generally my thought has been that if it's your personal residence, it's always a good time to take action and buy.If it's a pure investment (i.e., you're not living there), then I think there's much more of an argument for being thoughtful about whether now is the right time to act or not.It might still be, but I think it's more of a question since there's always the null option (just don't invest).
