Hi Emilio, Lots of good people here in Denever, great outdoor activities, and exciting real estate opportunities are everywhere.

Just be sure to be active on here and network with people in your area using the network tab and listen to as many podcasts as you can.

I think I would like the fast-paced activity and it looks to be a great way to make money that I can use for future projects.

Georgia as you know is a great market for a variety of reasons.First you need to look at do you want to be an ACTIVE investor or a PASSIVE one??

They are ready to start calling on accounts when they don't even know how to read a rate card,,they want to go see people, you have to hold them back a little so they have the basics down,,they want to start selling.The sales reps in #1 have little chance for success,,they confuse activity with accomplishment.

Hey Alex, are you still actively buying?

I'm in southeastern CT and am always glad to see other people from our little state here.CTREIA is a very active investors network w/monthly meetings and subgroups.

Generally banks do not participate in non-banking activities (like residential leasing)... but I am not a bank examiner.

Over the last few years, I have replaced that activity with raising money from private individuals, and investing THAT money in apartments.You just gotta figure out what the most efficient way is to get there, what suits your personality, and what is the most fun for you.

By being an active agent you do that - you start to know the agents, the lenders, other investors, home inspectors, appraisers etc.
