Have clear goals like what cap rate you want, how much money you hope to make, and where in Denver you prefer to buy.

I bought my first investment property in Cleveland just about a year ago... more specifically, in Clark-Fulton, which recently had and is still having money pouring in.

I can also recommend a fellow investor/lender and a hard money lender too depending on your exit strategy.

How much money are you tying up into each deal?

Title company is asking for an Uninsured Title affadavit to refi out of a hard money loan.  

The lure of easy money and scaling too quickly is the most likely path to being a forced seller.

They do work like cash, so the money cannot be recalled.

If you have more time than money, this is the free way to do it.If you value your time, then use one of the paid sites, like flsonline, foreclosures daily, or a host of other data providers. 

Has anyone delt with a hard money lender then financing at the end to a traditional bank?

My realtor linked me up with a lender and we applied for the VA loan for a 0 money down loan and we got into it for 3.875 APR, 30 year fixed for a total of $242, 548.
