not sure when my reply was made, but my tenants (young but responsible kids) left at the end of January. they were paying $1125 and had to leave cause money was getting tight (baby and suck). i offered them to lower the rent for 6 months and then bring it back up, but they left.After some active and passive loss (updates and vacancy) that totalled ~4k, i put it with the agent on the MLS. just being vacant for one month costs me $2,250 (Realtor fee and empty month)was able to get applications immediately and signed up a family for 3 years at the rate of $1,225..increase of $100.

the tenants at one house moved out a few weeks ago. they were there just one year and moved in after the house was freshly painted and re-carpeted.anyway. there were fingerprints and smudges on the walls all over the house and even areas that you'd have to try to leave a fingerprint. nothing that a new coat of paint can't cover, but the whole house needed to be re-painted.regarding the carpet, there are dog pee stains and large furniture impressions. they tried to steam all stains out and even used spray chemicals to remove them. it does not smell, but the stains are there.would you charge them or keep a portion of the s. deposit for something like this?

As for Denver County auctions...In Colorado auctions are held by the public trustees of each county.Below is a link to the Denver County public trusteehttp://www.denvergov.org/clerkandrecorder/ClerkandRecorder/Foreclosures/tabid/437349/Default.aspxI have not attended Denver's Foreclosure Sale/Auction, but my experience is that the public trustees required a certified check(or other good funds) at the auction.I would certainly speak to expert before participating as it is a buyer beware (caveat emptor) purchase: -No guarantee that the foreclosing lien is in first position-No rights to inspect-Can be redeemed out by other jr lien holders after sale-Persons may still be living in the property and require eviction or other arrangements-Lessees may have a grace period to leave-All sales are finalI am not an expert and that is just my personal understanding.The aforementioned is personal opinion and none of the content should be considered a binding offer or agreement.
