I am a firm believer that Colorado Springs is a great place to invest due to its strong economy, temperate climate, beautiful views and easy access to outdoor activities.The market is starting to show signs of being depressed, meaning that there will be more opportunities for investors to find some great deals. 

I'm excited for you to start your journey!

I’ve started to explore the “creative deals” side of real estate & honestly it’s pretty amazing.

We actually rented the unit back to the existing tenants for as long as they wanted to stay because we didn’t have to do anything to the unit to start generating income.  

Once you start changing the rules because you get good or bad vibes from a potential tenant, you can get yourself in serious hot water and end up in court for a fair housing violation. 

However, I'm unsure which market I should focus on starting. 

I'm getting ready to start doing my research and figured I'd ask!

It is a great way to build your real estate portfolio…or at least start.

Basically if you're in the upper credit tier it's not too difficult, and no sense in paying someone to do it.Regarding the company, I've been following the misc posts for a while, everyone does say starting out it uses your personal credit to start, then they open business lines.Personally for RE, I don't see it as a great model. 

It kind of depends on what your goals are, but you may be able to start consolidating your properties a little more with like-kind exchanges and/or purchasing larger properties where you could do cost-segregations on.
