Presented by the BiggerPockets Podcast co-host, Brandon Turner, it covers a different topic every week. 

Hello All,Can a property be bought while it is still in probate (in Colorado, to be specific)?

There's a Northern CO meetup on April 5 in Erie. 

I've also identified two co-workers as potential partners (we are exploring the idea together, sharing research resources, sharing our R.E. analyses, trying to identify potential deals, and getting a better understanding of creative financing options.  

unfortunately all of my family is in Colorado and Wyoming.

Don't be discouraged, you have plenty of time to find a reputable co. that charges a reasonable price.

In addition to replacing all fabric items, replace plastic items too that have become discolored or have absorbed the cigarette odor, such as outlet/switch covers, smoke/CO detectors, etc.A key factor is how long the unit has been affected by the cigarette odor and to what extent.

Any commercial real estate agents on here from the Littleton, CO area? 

Maybe invest in the outlying areas (Rowan Co.) that has more affordable homes with strong rental markets.

@Doug Woodville @Jay Hinrichs I totally want to co-sign on meeting up when you're next in town, Jay!
