Thank you!

Does anyone know of a lender  that does HELOCs on investment properties in Colorado?

Does anyone know a realtor in the CDA area that knows the STR market well?

@Cornelius Charles I would love to talk to your wife. Thanks!

Hi all,

We have a STR in Scottsdale, AZ that is doing great! We're thinking about another one in the Ventura, CA area. Wondering if anyone has STR there, or near by, that might be willing to share their experience. I'd be happy to share what we've learned so far as well! Thanks Bigger Pockets community!

Thanks @Chet Mostue! I connected with Gary. 

My husband and I live in Denver, Colorado and are potentially looking to purchase a property in the Scottsdale area.  We'd aim to rent it out, either short-term or on an annual basis, for the next ten years or so and then spend winters down there.

Does anyone know a great Realtor in the area who could speak to short-term versus annual rentals in that market?

We are planning to be in the area next Monday and Tuesday are hoping to take a look at a few places to start learning more about the area.

Thanks!

Thanks all for the advice! Messaged received.

We have to fix a leaking pipe in the house we just rented out. I told the tenant we would be there this weekend. She asked exactly what times. How exact do I need to be? The house is in Colorado and, from my understanding, there are no statutes about notice.

So our new tenants moved in a week ago. Within 12 hours they broke a window. Life happens and we are actually replacing all the windows. What I didn't like is that she said she has no idea what happened. Hhmm, I have never had a window spontaneously break from behind a screen on the inside of a house, but I am moving on.

Three days later she informs me they are getting a puppy and that she would like to pay the pet deposit and the monthly fee. I immediately got her on the phone and explained our pet policy, which includes no puppies under two years old. She said ok and that she didn't really want the dog anyway.  That night I sent a follow-up email clearly outlining our whole pet policy, just for both her records and mine. She emailed me back and said "Ok, thanks!". Then a few hours later she emails me and says that the dog is at their house, but her sister is coming to take it to the adoption place today."  Hhhmmm. 

My question is how would you deal with this situation?
