My name is Ryan McIntyre and I am a 22 year old investing newbie in the Fort Collins, Colorado area.

Ok thanks @Collin Smith and @John Semanchuk.  

Collin, there are quite a few of us that handle the features you are looking for.

@Jason Collins It is difficult to find out if you are in the ballpark without the whisper price.

@JOAN DICKIE, I have a $100K rental in Jeff's neck of the woods and we plan to resurface the countertops with a spray on faux granite finish from one of the re-bath franchises, if that comes out well enough we'll do it again in a little higher priced property.
