I would start looking now in different areas of Denver just to see what’s out there in terms of multi family and maybe an area you’d like to live in. Depending

What I do is get a bunch of quotes from the companies but also the independent insurance agents, they are always cheaper and have better value than if you just call GEICO etc. 

This will be my very first post and my first step towards taking action towards financial independence.

I’ve always been curious of property investing to achieve financial independence (like many of us here), so I read David’s “BRRRR” book, Brandon’s “No (or low) Money Down”, listened to dozens of hours of the BP Podcast, sat in on several webinars, went PRO, spent hours in the archive...

As my profile says, still learning & researching how real estate investing can help us build long term wealth, diversify our retirement savings, and attain more financial independence.

I have read a couple of books, watched some videos, and started perusing through this forum, and will continue to learn so that I can achieve my dream of becoming financially independent, as I'm not looking to make millions tomorrow!

Since this would be considered taxable event the property must be appraised by independent third party, which would dictate the taxable amount. 

You're already seeing this on the other side of Port Richmond/ Kensington with developments like Kensington Courts at Frankford and Lehigh that is acting as the flagship for that area's serious development.19140 has historically been a rental market with no high price tag real estate since Philly hosted the World Fair in 1926 which coincided with the 150th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence.

I recently had an independant mortgage broker send me a fee sheet on a house I was looking at refinacing.

The key is to ensure that the lender receives independent legal advice.
