How's Colorado marketing???

Question

Oh, I didn't get you wrong.  By your account, any answers from BP contributors to your questions would just be interpreted as "gossip".

Seeing that none of your questions require feedback from actual boots on the ground, why bother asking us questions that you can find by a simple google search?

Good for you for having such a healthy self-confidence with your analytical research skills, but many who would give their shirt off their back to help may find it alienating...like I do.

Good Luck!

Utah IS great. But let's keep that under wraps until I can find a few more deals to buy ;)

All About Colorado

Jamyka, welcome to BP!  After reading your post, it appears you need convincing outside of just a real estate opportunity to justify moving to CO.  Educating yourself on just the RE aspect is a recipe for disaster.  There is a long list of reasons why your neighbors are leaving CT...excruciating taxes would likely be at the top of the list.  Regardless of where you move, you need to have a plan and a plan that you mentally buy in to.  You don't seem to even be close to that based on your post.

RE in CO is HOT (for sellers), but don't be fooled by what others tell you here, if you don't know what you're doing, you soon find yourself in HOT water and rethinking your move here.

Hi Jamyka,

I've traveled the world and have not found anything like Colorado.  After years living here, I finished my Masters degree, got my real estate license and help people buy/sell as well as invest myself.  It's just now starting to be a Buyer's market, so it's the perfect time to move here. (I am helping a friend buy a home in downtown Boulder, and we just received the appraisal back and we are buying the house at a 10% discount).

Our school districts are amazing, we are considered the healthiest state in the country and our winters are amazing.  I remember spending ONE winter in Maryland/Virginia area, and they said it was the mildest winter they've ever had... I remember never have I felt so cold as there (I had spent 6 winters in Colorado by comparison)!!!

I look forward to meeting you.

Hi Jamyka! I think you'll figure out why your husband is excited about moving here as soon as you experience CO first hand.  It's not as cold or snowy as the news or South Park make it seem.  In fact, Connecticut winters are much more brutal than Colorado winters.  I lived in Canton Connecticut for a while and the humidity in the winters make it much colder.   In terms of where to invest, totally depends on your goals and what your lifestyle is.  Anywhere in the Denver Metro area is hot, but already hot.  There's a town called Erie, about 20 minutes North of Denver, and it's in a great growth area for investments, and it's a nice family town if you're looking for that atmosphere.
