Newbie from San Diego, moving to Colorado

[Brian Betancourt]

Good Afternoon Everybody,

As the title states, I've been living (renting) in San Diego for the last few years and am planning on moving to Denver/Boulder area Colorado in the next year-and-a-half for grad school. 

I'm very new to real estate and am still learning the basic ins and outs. I'd like to find a single family home to live in initially, and eventually rent out. I intend to try to finance this using a VA loan, as I'll be leaving the military just before this happens. Any suggestions or suggested reading would be greatly appreciated!
