I'd like to keep my money here in Denver, where I see people moving here, staying here, getting great jobs, taking care of their houses and their community, working in gorgeous new office buildings, and taking advantage of the new public transit systems.  

This is a general training class suitable for the general public; $49 for member and $69 for non-members.

don't forget about our public school system, 5th largest in the nation and we are ranked last in the nation.

I invest in mostly in lower middle class (including common public assistance tenants).

The recorders office is merely the local county archive for deeds and other documents of public record. 

Public forums and stories, oh well....Dion and Lynn had some good points.Specific advice, good advice cannot be given here, unless you spill the beans about grandma's personal finances on the internet.Things to consider:She is 80 so that means she is on Medicare.

Depends on the bank and market.See if you can get the foreclosure unpaid balance or look up the mortgage issued from the previous sale via public records.I would figure your best number and offer it or wait it out.

From Inman "With the vote, multiple listing services must now allow brokers to display a minimum of three years of sold listing data on their non-password-protected websites — but only if the sold data is already publicly available."

I know its not supposed to work that way, but the pattern popped out very clearly.I also try to look up public records for the recent sales.

Then, through the magic of public record, you can look up who sent the postcard to see if they have ever done any deals or not.
