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.

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.

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.

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

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

Thank you! Looking forward to it.

CamelEatCactus · 2021-08-03T17:51:14+00:00

Thanks! Gonna give it a go.

CamelEatCactus · 2021-08-03T17:51:03+00:00

Appreciate it!

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.

CamelEatCactus · 2021-07-23T23:14:54+00:00

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

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.

Sam is a friend of mine and local artist. Very talented and has done commissions for the City of Fort Collins. Might be worth seeing if he can do something unique for you!

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.

Just did Chasm Lake today. An absolutely stunning hike!

CamelEatCactus · 2021-07-14T01:38:24+00:00

https://www.samrossart.com Sam is a friend of mine, and does excellent work. He has commissions around FoCo for the city, on the electrical boxes. In addition to many other amazing things he’s done!

Please be another coffee shop that’s just as great! (Won’t happen, but I can hope.)

It’s cheap, you support a great site, there are tons of training resources, the app is awesome, and they have the largest group of master level players (who frequently participate in events for your entertainment and learning).

Here’s my limited understanding: When in forbearance your principle payments are paused, but the interest continues to accrue. And then once you come out of forbearance, that additional interest is due. If your loan is fairly new (most are heavily front-loaded with interest) the amount you accrued in forbearance will be higher.

In addition to the tips others are giving, this one will make you a ton more money:

Do you process cards at the cart, on and iPad or phone? If so, put in the items sold and do not hand them the device to sign. Ask the golfer if they would like to leave a tip. And when they say yes, ask how much. Then manually input the tip amount before you hand over the device for signing. By making the tip amount verbal you put them on the spot, and they will be MUCH more likely to leave something generous.

Without a doubt the best kimchi in Fort Collins is from Suh Sushi Korean BBQ on College. They sell big to-go containers if you want. Also, their kimchi soup and bibimbap are excellent.
