Now that we are settling in and getting all the new construction costs handled (landscaping, fence, patio, minor home upgrades etc) we are wanting to put our money to work for us in more than just the financial markets.It seems to be tough to find rental properties in the Denver Metro / Boulder Metro area that turn a profit on a 15yr mortgage, but I'm only casually looking while accruing my downpayment.Q: What price point should I be looking into?  

I'm fairly new to real estate and was on the fence about whether or not to get licensed for a while.

Cities like Los Angeles and Miami are effectively fenced in by nature reserves and the ocean.

I can work the deal with a borrower from both sides of the fence.

Building fences for the units so they can have pets (I love pet fees and pet rent).

I think it is a natural reflex to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

Funny thing is, the neighbors that "didn't mind" had a barbed wire fence put up and no trespassing signs between the two properties.

I was on the fence whether I wanted to be a Realtor - or just try to invest in Real Estate.  

The purchaser rehabbed a bathroom & rented it out.When Chad saw how simple it was, he started rethinking the area.A few months later we purchased another 10k house 3 BR/1B - fenced in yard, cleaned it up, put paint on the walls & it rents for $650.

The reason for the delay: we have a newbie buyer who's on the fence and she is being spooked by her attorney (some attorneys do kill deals.2) We lost 2 properties on the list of 50 OFF-market REOs in Chicago.
