CRNA opportunities in Colorado

My wife and I are looking to make a lifestyle change and move to Colorado. We are currently located in Ohio and looking to move to an area north of Denver along the front range. I have interviewed over the phone for three positions in Colorado. The first position filled immediately and we didn't get it, based on timing because we couldn't get there for an in person interview. The second was a 1099 position and the third paid considerably less than what I'm making in Ohio. I've thought of taking the lower paid position just to get my foot in the door in the area and I've also talked to an agency to help place me. Does anybody have any thoughts on do's and don'ts on applying out of state, Colorado job market, and having an agency work for you in a desirable job market? I understand that this is a state dominated by MD's and CRNA's are slowly making inroads and didn't know if anyone had any comments. THX
