I live in Colorado Springs and I'm investing in Pueblo.

When I first discussed what we were doing with them, they were intrigued, but did not have an existing "box" into which to classify all these sensors - like they have for smoke and CO detectors, sewer back-flow valves, etc.   

There was a strong gas smell in the house today (which is being investigated) and that made me realize that we don't have CO detectors in the house and should.  

I will be taking my Colorado realtor license exam next week, and am feeling pretty hopefull that I will be passing on the first go round.

I think it does have something to do with land grants, a co worker did this when she moved to Atlanta, in fact she sold her home in Waldorf Maryland and took 150k in silver to purchase in the area.

But, as a way to build up a down payment, I am a co-owner/operator of C and R Landscaping and Snow Removal.

If you're doing a straight up transaction, it doesn't really matter which title co. you use. 

The upstairs tenant is great, but i decided to rent out the first floor unit to a co-worker with kids and a cat.
