The 1990s-2000’s belongs to the millions who took to the internet starting .com businesses. More than 28 million small businesses in the U.S. or the equivalent to about 10% of our labor force own thei

    House Flipping Declining - Is This Real Estate Trend Over?

    House flipping is becoming a thing of the past. The economy is growing, more people are working, foreclosures and vacant home inventory is low. The housing market has rebounded.

During the third quarter of 2017, nationwide, there were 48,685 properties that were flipped by 38,928 investors. This equates to 1.251 flips per investor, the lowest ratio since the

    Why You Need To Evaluate Your Estate Plan

    Your Estate Plan may consist of a Last Will and Testament, Trust, Power of Attorney and other important documents that need a tune-up from time to time. Not just because your life may have changed, but outside events can affect what’s in your estate plan as well. One recent outside event is the new tax reform that Congress passed at the end of December. Did the tax reform, or new estate tax limits affect or alter your estate plan?

    Rental Caps and Your Homeowners' Association ( HOA )

    Many properties in Colorado are used as a second home or a vacation home. These owners often rent these properties for part or all of each year to help cover expenses and provide additional income. When owners or investors buy a property that is under the jurisdiction of a Homeowner’s Association (HOA), they were given a set of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) that outline all the rules and ‘laws’ of the community. The buyers agreed to follow the rules and restric

    Business Investments and Investors: Should You Sell Your Business?

    When you own a small business and are thinking of selling a portion of your business to investors, you’ll want to know everything there is before making any kind of a commitment.

    HOA Assessments : Should You Hire A Colorado HOA Defense Attorney?

    When you buy a home in a covenanted community, you will receive a copy of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) along with your closing documents. The CC&Rs will spell out all the regulations (rules/conditions) and the amount of Homeowner’s Association (HOA) fees, which are typically paid monthly. Each year the HOA’s Board of Directors meet to discuss and set the budget that will include how much every household (property or unit) will be charged for their monthl

    Real Estate Disclosure In Colorado

    Before buying a home, a seller has to disclose any major problems regarding the property before the sale. As a buyer, you will want to know everything possible about your soon-to-be property including the physical condition and any problem that may affect the value of the property. Years ago, sellers were allowed to remain silent on potential problems unless they were asked specifically by the buyer. This was under the doctrine of caveat emptor (buyer beware). Colorado is on

    Thinking Of Buying A Home?

    If you’re thinking of buying a home you’ve probably noticed the inventory of available houses for sale has been declining and mortgage rates and housing prices are on the rise.
