What Front Range Investors Should Verify Before Investing in Property

Property can look convincing from a distance. Clean listing photographs, updated flooring, a tidy rent estimate, and maybe a spreadsheet showing comfortable monthly income are all positives.

Tree Removal in Colorado: Permits, Costs, HOA Rules

Colorado Fence and Boundary Law for Homeowners

In Colorado you keep a neighbor out of your yard with four things in this order: a conversation, a survey or Improvement Location Certificate that shows where the line is, a fence that meets your city's height rule and your HOA's design rule, and, if it comes to that, the trespass statute and a mediator.

5 Ways Colorado Buyers Can Spot a Quality HVAC System

An HVAC system's condition is one of the more expensive things a Front Range buyer can misjudge from a walkthrough alone, since a furnace and AC can look clean and run quietly right up until a major component fails.

Renting a 3-Bedroom Apartment on Colorado's Front Range

Colorado Attached vs Detached Homes: First-Time Buyer Guide

In Colorado an attached home shares at least one wall with a neighbor: a townhome, rowhome, paired home or condo. A detached home stands on its own lot with no shared walls. For a first-time buyer the wall is the small difference. The big difference is what you own: a fee-simple townhome comes with the land under it, a condo comes with the airspace inside the unit plus a share of everything else,

Composite Decking for Colorado Balconies and Small Yards

Composite decking turns a small Front Range balcony or rooftop into usable space without the yearly refinishing a wood deck needs, and it holds up to two things Colorado throws at exterior surfaces harder than most climates do: intense ultraviolet exposure at altitude and repeated freeze-thaw cycles through the winter.Here is what composite decking costs installed, what the climate does to it, an

Preventing Costly Pool Repairs on the Front Range
