I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.

I was in Quad Cities some time back on "field trip" finalizing launch of acquisition program in market and it hit me how significant some of the homes were.

Excited to finally start so thank you all 

Purchase price: $95,000 Cash invested: $175,000 I worked this deal for 10 months until finally got it.

I'm trying to confirm my understanding of a less straight forward capital gains scenario than the one-time purchase and sale most deals involve.Essentially 100% interest in a condo was acquired over time, as each joint tenant passed away, leaving 1 sole tenant who gained full ownership by rights of survivorship.I've gotten differing opinions from different professionals and am trying to understand the calculation of the basis and the final capital gains  tax that would be due myself so I can spot bad advice and understand deals.Assumptions:A condominiumNo depreciation has ever been taken by any owner.No 1031 exchange.No expenses or improvements.

Finally, create a guide with info on nearby parks, pet stores, and vets.

Over the past 4 months I sent out about 3,000 letters to a semi-targeted list (2% reponse rate), made 1,000 cold calls (25% response rate), had multiple investor friendly realtors looking for oportunities, and of course checked zillow/realtor daily.

This final determination based on various factors such as condition of property, location, and bedroom/bath count.

Finally, any leads you have to off MLS opportunities coming that you have access to? 

I have 5 doors under management there.... maybe I'm not important enough to them, but I pay them for a service and they are not standing by it.There was a great property manager there that I finally found and things were great for a while.
