First Time Homebuyer Programs are Available in Colorado

First-Time Home Buyer Programs

Guest post: Ray Williams.

There seems to be a lot of misleading and lack of information out there regarding first-time home buyer programs. As an experienced mortgage professional, when I searched “first time home buyer programs”, I found lots of information.  The problem with the information that I found was that there really weren’t any straight answers. Even as an experienced mortgage professional, I was confused. Therefore, I can only imagine as a first-time home buyer how you may be confused as well.

I noticed there were more ads than any actual helpful article and the articles I did find didn’t explain and/or answer the search.  Again, being a mortgage professional I was able to filter through the ads and…

The population of Denver seems to be dominated by men...some are even calling our city MENVER - are they right?

there are way more single men in Denver

Denver is an interesting place to live with many memorable nicknames - The Mile High City, Broncoville, Cow Town - but not as memorable as “Menver”. The population of Denver seems to be dominated by men.

And while there are technically more women in Denver than men overall, when it comes to the “never married” population, men far outnumber single women according to the 2015 American Community Survey, part of the US Census.

In Denver – men of all ages, who reported to have “never married” outnumbered “never married” women by about 19,000.

Most of the never married population is under 35 years old. For those ages 20-34, single men outnumber women by nearly 9,000.

The data also includes…

Custom Home inspired by New Orleans Architecture

There are some amazing houses in Denver, but not many belong to rockstars! Wash Park joggers, stroller-pushers, and dog-walkers on their rounds have all gawked at 1066 South Franklin Street since its completion in July 2014.

Airbnb Crackdown in Denver

Denver is finding and fining unlicensed short-term rental owners

Not sure if you need a license? You probably do.

The Mile High City is an extremely popular place to both live + visit, as so many Denverites know. A way people can experience Colorado life from a local's perspective, is by renting airbnb units on a short-term basis, and Airbnb is a viable option for many. But many Denver landlords with investment properties on Airbnb are on borrowed time.

Six months after regulations banned the practice of renting investment properties for less than 30 days – a lucrative niche that could earn a landlord $1,000 to $2,000 more per month than a year-long lease – Denver is sniffing out the scofflaws and making suspicious Airbnb hosts prove with a…

Millennials: From Renting to Buying

Where are millennials living?

More of them are Buying homes instead of paying rent.

So many people are moving to Denver nowadays; especially Millennials. It used to be that Millennials could only afford to rent, but times have changed and buying is now the preferable option. Young adults in Denver own homes at a higher rate than their peers in the rest of the country — 34.2% versus 32.1%, according to a study from Abodo. 

Among the 45 largest metro areas, Denver ranked 15th for the most Millennial homeowners.
