Yes I'm new to the Real Estate game, other than my own home of course. The Wife and I purchased a business 3 years ago, and now we are looking at getting into real estate. Specifically commercial. Specifically retail... to support our retail store.
Seems Denver doesn't have a very active forum, so reach out if you are in the area.
Welcome to BiggerPockets! You came to the right place to learn more about real estate and connect with other motivated investors. BP is full of great content, so I strongly recommend you to have a look at the following resources:
@Matt Hubbard Welcome to BP! I think you'll find Denver has a pretty active BP community. Sometimes, it just takes a post like this to get a conversation going!
Welcome to BP Matt! It may be that Denver doesn't have an active forum specifically because we have such a big presence in the general forum. About half the members on here are Denver agents!
Retail commercial is struggling this year a bit as you probably know. It could be a good time to find a decent bargain, because many are considering the sector high-risk. I've seen a few reasonably-priced retail commercial properties on West Colfax recently, and that area is poised to blow up in the next five years in my opinion, looking at all the developments planned for that strip, and the opportunity zones.

Welcome to BP Matt! Bigger pockets is awesome. Just take a little time every day to search around on the site you will find everything you need here. Don’t hesitate to ask questions in the forums, everyone on here is willing to help. However, most times the question has already been asked, and you can find the answers just by searching. Have fun!
Our Denver forum is dominated by agents looking to drum up business, so it's not too active from just a pure investor standpoint. I use google to search the main forum for info you're looking for.
