You can locate talks that are relevant to Denver and perhaps get in touch with seasoned investors who are eager to share their knowledge.

In the Reno, NV market prices are continuing to rise because there is still a shortage of housing supply and there are very few building start. 

Located in: Trenton, NJ  one thing to realize and talk to your accountant about is if you assume it - do you assume it based on his cost basis, which could be a lot lower than the property value and then when you do eventually sell it, you could be hit with a nice capital gains bill. 

You are going to be very bored when you retire young so start building your REI portfolio so you can travel and visit your properties and continue to build your portfolio and future wealth through passive income.

This might be a dumb question but I don't seem to see anybody ever talk about the difference between these.Thanks,Nate Witte

@Nick BednarczykI think people also need to understand that fed rates are not directly correlated to mortgage ratesMortgage rates are more in line with the 10 year treasury which could remain high if we continue to spend money like a drunken sailor

This is just something to keep in mind as you continue along your investment journey. 

Where most focus on passive income is getting started as you mention with a percentage of your portfolio but really the main goal most look for is to have income when they retire outside of social security that can continue to allow them to retire.For most this is not at 30, 40 or 50 but much later in life.

Properties that can adapt to various uses and configurations will stand out as the market continues to evolve.
