I’m Hey Adam, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Just make sure you account for Denver’s higher property taxes, insurance costs, and the ever changing landlord regulations when running your numbers.Feel free to ask more questions about the area or strategies—I’ve helped clients with similar goals and have personally done house hacks and short-term rentals around Boulder and Denver.

I know a lot of folks that started with 1 or 2 properties that they bought from A turnkey rental seller and then went on their own, after all, purchasing and owning A rental property is the real experience it is far more hands on then any course your listen or video youll ever watch, so for someone that has the funds and is eager to learn the real way, and is okay to not make his full top profit of their first few investment properties it would be an idea for them to start with A turnkey seller.But as mentioned here, it definitely comes with A certain price tag, although for some starters they can pay up even more when they start on their own, and with A turnkey seller they'll actually save money.It all depends on the investors capabilities, experience, guts, funds avail, time (if you got they full time job besides real estate) etc...

There’s a cool breakdown here if you ever want to explore gaming design inspiration.

With the ever changing market, I'm looking to learn about how everyone else is finding solutions to the challenges we are facing. 

In fact, with ever increasing property taxes, expect your payment to increase. 

In the past ten years, I've made thousands of connections through BiggerPockets without ever having a call-to-action or sending a DM first.
