I am going to be in Denver from the 4th-17th. I would love to meet up with whoever would be interested in talking real estate investing and maybe even looking at some places if it gets to that point. Thanks everyone!

Thank you Scott! Will definitely do that if/when I make it out there. I'm actually going to be there for 2 weeks in July for vacation, was planning on meeting with a realtor while I was out there. Would love to go get some coffee or a beer. Maybe there will be a BP meetup while I'm out there, who knows. Also that 350k approval could go up very easily if I decide to make a couple of simple personal moves.

I am 28 years old, live and own a condo in Miami. I am thinking about moving out to the Denver area(also Aurora, Centennial, etc.) I don't know if it would be just for a year, few years, or long term. If I was to make the move, I would like to purchase a house that I could: A- live in and B - use as an investment property in the future(maybe as soon as 1-3 years down the line). I have been approved down here in Miami for a 350k property. So I am wondering if anyone has any good advice, knowledge, or really anything that could help with my situation. Thank you guys!
The main thing that is holding me back is strategy. I don't know if I want to start my real estate investing portfolio with a buy and hold, or if I want to put the time and effort into a flip. It is really holding me back from starting down this path.

Brandon, I recommend investing in your backyard. You know Miami - and I'm sure you're known in your community. That's priceless.
But before you decide where to invest, what is your investment plan? Do you currently own a home? (That's the first step in building personal wealth). Are you interested in rental properties or in rehabbing or flipping? Have you looked into financing and do you have funds for a down payment and closing costs?
Investing in real estate is a business. More people fail than succeed. I'm glad you're on BP and I hope you'll let the contributors help you formulate a winning strategy and plan. I look forward to hearing more...
Thank you for your reply. I do currently own a home. I bought my first condo a year and a half ago without this new journey in mind. I am interested in rental properties for now. Also am interested in flipping, but I'd like to start and focus on rental properties. I have looked into financing and do have funds for a down payment and closing costs.
Hello, I am 27 years old born and raised in Miami. I have been part of this site for about a month now and have mostly been listening to the podcasts and reading the forums. I decided a couple of months ago that I want to get into real estate investing.
I’m wondering if Miami is the best place to get started or if looking more north to Orlando or even Tampa area would be a better move. I’m also not opposed to buying property outside of the state. If this was the case, I’d be looking in a few different areas i.e. Colorado, North Carolina, Texas, California.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to being a longtime member of this community!
