Thanks, Danny. I'm only 25 myself, so also a yougin. :) I lived my first 22 yrs in Atlanta (i'm in Denver now) and my parents still live there. they just closed (this week) on a house near Ga. Tech. a bit of a fixer upper that will rent out nice to students. plus the area's really coming back from the drug infested place it used to be.

Back to the weibster's original question, what about a townhome vs. a single family home? pros/cons on that?
Thanks, Woodser...
can you recommend any basic intro books that will get me started on the right foot? One/s that will cover terminology, hunting tips, etc.? were there any particular you used 3 yrs ago?
thx,
daniel
Yes, this would be my first property investment.
I would definitely be occupying for a year. more likely 2 before i buy something bigger (a house) and rent out the condo. but i basically know nothing about buying other than that i need to get prequalified which i plan to do in the next few weeks. I already know where I want to buy, it's just a matter of going through the hunting process to find a decent deal, and then fill in all the blanks as to what's involved in buying a property (i'm tellin' ya, i'm a major newbie, but that's part of buying this property, to get a little more than my toe in the RE water).

Hey all,
thanks for all the great help you seasoned investors provide. i'm looking to buy a condo here in Denver (my first investment) just to get me introduced to REI. I'm not sure this is the best forum for such a strong newbie. i'm really just looking for a beginners experience... and a place to live while I work on getting my CPA license over the next year. after that's out of the way, i'd like to jump back into the REI educational process and start buying more for the return/income stream.
Can someone point me to a forum or a book to read that can help me with such a basic transaction? I'm looking to buy a 2br for around $160k just to give you some scope. I'd like to put down around 20% to avoid PMI.
thanks very much!
Daniel
