Excellent schools get people up here and then they love it.PS- I do have a nice 3 bedroom for under $400K available- tenant occupied  :) Another option is to go the cash flow route in the midwest- I have several there as well.I would be happy to discuss.

I’m finally moving forward with purchasing a small duplex with a fair amount of cash reserves and excessive credit card lines thanks to travel hacking (I don’t intend to use them, but it’s nice to have them there).

Anyway, my mother-in-law mentioned over dinner a while ago that they might be moving in the next few years leaving their nice 5 bedroom 3.5 bathroom house in Broomfield, Colorado vacant!
