These high-wage jobs stimulate growth for surrounding metro areas and lower- income residents which mattered to us because we were investing in workforce housing outside of the downturn, urban core.At 12.8% growth, Denver had the 3rd fastest growing population of young adults (18-34) in the country between 2010-2015 -- over 8 points above the national average(Brookings)The number of college-educated 25-34-year-olds in Denver increased from 163,000 in 2000 to 240,000 in 2012, a 46.6% increase (source: The Young and Restless and the Nation’s Cities).Out of the 51 largest metros studied, this percentage increase trailed only Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Nashville, Salt Lake Vity, and Las Vegas over the same period.Out of the top 15 metros with the largest populations of college-educated 25-34-year-olds,Denver’s growth rate was second behind only Houston at 49.8% — 17.5% above the national averageWith 240,000 college-educated 25-34-year-olds, Denver ranks 11th out of the top 51 largest Metros for total population.Denver has 4 of the top 20 zip codes with the Highest Increase in Millennial Populations in the US (source: Rent Cafe)I hope this helps shed some light on the impressive growth that Denver, and cities with similar fundamentals, have experienced in recent years.

Hello Everyone,I'm a brand new investor trying to get started in the Houston, TX and surrounding areas.

It is surrounded by single family homes and residential neighborhoods.

I am an investor and realtor in the Lansing and surrounding markets and feel I have a pretty good grasp on the East Lansing/MSU rental market being oversaturated. 

So I've been looking to invest in a property in LA and surrounding areas.

They must have renovated the property to match the surroundings - new flooring, brand new stainless steel appliances, a fresh coat of paint, etc.

Consider looking at surrounding areas or properties that have been on market for a long time... you may see opportunity where others are not looking 

One of the suggestions it gives, is to surround yourself with better people and people who do what you want to do well.
