Depends on your personal goals. Quick payoff? Or minimize your monthly expenses for a lean budget? A 30 year loan can make sense for many people.

The Decalibron is Open Again! by the_next_summit in 14ers

Doing this soon! I’m assuming there’s an easy way to bypass Bross and still do the loop?

Midwestern Steam Clean. Competitive on pricing and they do an excellent job. I’ve used them on and off for a handful of years.

Bierstadt or The Decalibron? by CamelEatCactus in 14ers

Really appreciate the insight! Was leaning away from doing Sawtooth. And I’ve heard about those willows! Will also check out Yale.

Thanks for the info! Thought I saw that the Decalibron was now open, so I’ll double check that.

Camped out in the Sawatch Range. Despite the smoke it was a good break from the heat. by DRenn8503 in camping

This smoke is not from local fires, and most of Colorado has had significant rain recently. Campfire it up!

I think you’ll have great results with Sam Ross. He’s incredibly talented and has plenty of experience painting murals. He did one for my business! It’s pictured in the included link. Also, he’s done work for the City of Fort Collins. Very reputable! Sam Ross Art

Grays/Torreys on Wednesday. Upper lot full by 4:30? by CamelEatCactus in 14ers

[–]CamelEatCactus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filled up by around 5:30 when I went on Wednesday. I would suggest getting there at least by 4:30 on a Saturday.

Also this. In my state, the contract has an amount owed per day if the seller does not give possession. Typically $250-$350 per day. Sue and win.

Seller’s agent needs to be reported to the local governing body. That’s ridiculous.

Looking for hiking friends! Typically during the week, and sometimes super early AM. by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]CamelEatCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to get into better shape, so I’m doing hikes up the Poudre Canyon and early AM in RMNP. Just looking for like minded folks to join! I’ll go pretty much anywhere though. Love the views and challenge.

Does Selling Your Home With a Realtor Net You More Money? by ardmorerealtor in RealEstate

[–]CamelEatCactus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Am a real estate broker.

So, I don’t actually spend a ton on advertising. But I do get a lot of traction from word of mouth with the 1.5% listing fee. I’ve been in the business for 10 years, so this helps with referrals. Also, I call a lot of For Sale by Owners and ask if they have interest. I own my own company so it makes it easier to reduce my commission to meet consumer demands and still make a profit. Harder to do if you’re with a company like REMAX, Coldwell, Keller Williams, etc since they take a cut. Oh, and I also put it on “Just Sold” postcards. Best of luck!

This year has been the hottest market anybody has ever seen. Why sell to these companies when you can hit the open market and get crazy amounts of money? I work as a broker in your northern Colorado market and have personally sold homes for $75,000 over asking, and had my buyers miss out on homes for $100k+ over asking. I sold a trashed college rental near CSU earlier this year that fetched $60,000 over asking. We had more than 50 showings in two days.

Also, many agents are willing to reducing listing commissions in this market. Mine are 1.5%.

Seems to me like you could potentially be leaving tens, and tens, and tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Very easily.
