But if you were able to flip 4 houses per year and you netted 25k in each one then it's still 100k in free cash flow for the year. 

@Franklyn Douglas III I’ve never done Colorado tax sales but presuming they are like most areas they are not nearly as easy, profitable or risk free as the promoters would have you believe.You will learn a lot just by participating even if in a small way. 

I am looking for any ideas or knowledge of how I can stay in the deal

I look forward to networking and learning from some of the best REI's and hopefully eventually being able to share my knowledge from experience one day.

Coming to you from the picturesque landscapes of Grass Valley, CA, just a stone's throw away from the vibrant heart of Sacramento.As a fresh face in the realm of real estate, I'm buzzing with excitement to soak up every ounce of knowledge and opportunity this field has to offer.

All have free options to post your property.

Both are normally about $20 to attend, but I think 1st time guests get in free.

If that doesn't work for them, they are free to give a norice to vacate. 

They only take 10% and list on all major sites for free.

I’ve had this itch to get into real estate for a long time, but everytime I start to dip my toes in I get the feeling that with prices/rates where there at it’s hard to justify pulling money from risk free 5.5% ?
