Ski Season in the Colorado Rockies has Begun!

It’s SKI time! Are you ready to hit the slopes? Have you been waiting for days for the potential of an early opening day? Well, it has happened! Keystone opened TODAY- an entire week ahead of schedule! I, however, am very bummed that this will be my first missed ski season since 1993. Being 19 weeks pregnant and delivering at the end of March has put a bit of a damper on my ski season this year. I hope each of you will put in a couple extra runs for me and keep me posted on the conditions. I will miss the slopes tremendously and probably miss the after ski après even more! Below is a list of other Colorado Top Ski Resorts and their Opening Days! ENJOY!

Adventures in Investment Properties- My Personal Journey

My husband and I just bought our first two unit rental/investment property and have spent the last two months remodeling it. It was actually a property that I showed to one of my clients, Larry, who is way more savvy than I when it comes to owning rentals. He and his wife were smart and started buying places when they were young (they still are) and have owned and sold several over the years. This Fannie Mae owned up and down duplex, had a price reduction of $20,000 the day I showed it to him. What he and I both liked about it was the price, its great potential and location. A combination of timing issues and lender mishap prevented him from purchasing this particular place, so when he said he wasn’t going to get it, I told him if he didn’t I would.
