Back in May when we first spoke about me purchasing the property, the ARV was around $215k but now I'm guesstimating its probably at around $180K and I'm guessing that number because this property is a twin, and though it has a few more added features such as it being a corner property, finished basement, back yard and a deck, I own the attached property which appraised for $178k in December of 2021. 

That's a great question, I just don't feel that the same opportunity and returns exist here in Minneapolis/St Paul, as in some other markets, and yes the Twin Cities is too expensive for me right now. 

Some people call it “shiny object syndrome”.All of a sudden, right at the moment that you’re about to have success, one of your old high school buddies comes along, and says, “Hey, I have a way for you to make more money in a shorter amount of time.”If you haven't read Gary Keller's, The One Thing, I HIGHLY recommend you read that book a.s.a.p.

There is a reason objects are smaller in your rear view mirror.

I’m primarily looking at unincorporated Adams (Sherrelwood, twin lakes and north Regis) but still open to Arvada/wheat ridge/centennial.

@David Hill That really depends on your objectives and what you're comfortable with.

A good place to start is to clearly identify your objectives and criteria and then identify the markets that will best help you achieve them.

To juggle you have to manage the decent of more than one object at a time toward earth. 

I have great credit, and good income, but I think my objective is to have the least of my own money into projects as possible.

Focus on the things you can control and don't get shiny object syndrome.
