Come to one of the meet ups at The Ram in Lakewood, you will meet a few people doing a wide arrange of RE investing (Wholesalers, Developers, Remodelers, RE/Insurance/Mortgage Agents, Home Inspectors, General Contractors and those who are brand new finding their way).

My most important criteria for investing in private placements is the developer's/syndicator's track record....show what you have done in REI.  

It's extremely helpful to develop my strategy. 

That makes sense @Mike Hurney, I'm always looking to develop my networking abilities.  

I was going to live there and develop this property (it's industrial zoned) and then cashflow it long term.  

That is until you have developed a good relationship with them.

They really are more an issuer or investor of an RECF offering.Reg A+ Tier I is a great option for a mid sized developer/builder capital raise.

There is also the wholesale marketplace.The web/online marketing person in me would love to develop a crowdfunding or classifieds website just for local (Denver only) investment property listings.

Why not start developing a relation ship with a commercial lender now and get that headache over with.

I currently teach Software Development for a coding bootcamp in Salt Lake City.
