@Wade Megan - Colorado is amazing! You are definitely not going to regret the move. What market in Colorado are you planning to move to? The Springs? Denver? Boulder? Fort Collins? 

In the short term, I would recommend educating yourself as soon as possible. All of the books @Vincent Chan  mentioned are great reads. If there's any strategy you want to hone in on BiggerPockets has a slew of great books in their book store.

After you have done some education and you are ready to get a move on. I'd recommend checking out BiggerPocket's Agent Directory. You'll be able to see what agents have a good track record of references, deals, and activity on the site. If all of these things are high, you'll know that there is a good chance you picked a good one. 

Also, rockstars know rockstars. So pick a good agent and they will definitely be able to lead you to a great lender, contractor, property manager, and other team members you will need.
