As she said, if you're looking for big cash flow, Denver probably isn't going to cut it.

No short cuts to success, you need to concentrate on paying off all personal bad debt and live frugally to allow you to save enough for the DB.

They are outliers and lot of people are not cut out for that and are not entrepreneurial.

Jason Hirko well saidI had duplexes that when I bought the tenants all had to cut their own.

Houses that are lisiting at 230K are selling for 265K, 269K sold for 305K, and  at that point, $1300/ month won't cut it.

Cut your losses and move on would be my recommendation.

When you can cut a 50k check the day before they are going to lose the house that seperates the players from the wanna bees

Is there a way to make a property "vandal proof" or should I cut my losses and sell the property.  

I have tried  cut and paste link but it doesn't  appear on the forum............I need some help  with analyzing a deal.

If you are trying to cut corners on materials & finishes, skipping code requirements and generally hacking a house to squeeze out profit...my advice is to invest in the stock market and not real estate.I personally have seen downtown high rise condos literally double in value after rehab largely because many are decked out like its 1985.
