They had nothing but disdain for their landlord, who they said was the most useless flake ever, and only ever came by to camp out in the basements with his kids and occasionally sail.

Ski train from Denver and less time on I-70 is enticing for those living in Denver.Vail is too expensive for a solid ROI, however, opportunity occasionally presents itself in/around Beaver Creek or other Eagle County neighborhoods, but one would be looking at (speculating on) appreciation to balance a lower ROI here.

I am in the process of selling a seattle duplex I own and the proceeds from that will be used to reinvest in a larger multifamily property in a secondary market in the greater puget sound area;  I want to get out of seattle market in the long term,   but I'm pretty established now with negligible debt and market-ish rates so I can weather some more bureaucracy and occasional losses from having to comply with some of this stuff if I have to.Even though we are seeing landlord/tenant "reform" at the state level now and I'm guessing will likely see a statewide rent control bill similar to oregons next session I would prefer to invest locally so I can visit my assets on a fairly regular basis,  even if it takes a couple hours instead of 15 minutes to drive there thats way better than cross country for me.

Sewer clogs (Roto-Rooter) are typical no matter what and you will have the occasional higher dollar sewer line collapse/intrusion or water line leak.

I’m no longer at lab but still get an occasional text or two from him asking about neighborhoods (I grew up there) / numbers so I guess he’s sold on it.

Let individuals move their own trailers in and pay the rent - except for an occasional screw up, most people who pay to move their trailer to your park and hook it up are never going to miss paying the rent.
