There is a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)- a department within HUD. Thanks to this special FHA loan program, a buyer or home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their new or existing home without the higher cost of a second mortgage. You are not allowed to finance "Luxury items" such as a hot tub or swimming pool through this FHA loan program. Repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances and flooring and even add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage). Many advantages exist with this government loan program but the biggest is the ability to have all of your acquisition or refinance loans together with your impr... 08/22/2013

The dream - A log home in Colorado on a snowy day  I’m from Texas.  As a girl, I always dreamed about Colorado.  I dreamed of snow.  I dreamed of log cabins.    Fast forward thirty or forty years - I find myself incredibly blessed to live in Colorado.    I’ve very happy living the Front Range region – a part of Colorado that is NOT in the ski country.    We get about 300 days of sunshine per year.   It doesn’t snow very often.  Granted, I’m learning to wish for snow which seems to be viewed as the equivalent of rain in Texas.  The six inches of snow that we got last night and this morning will probably be gone within the next day or so unless the snow is a shady area.    Anyway, a good friend of mine in Elizabeth, Colorado has a log home.  (Elizabeth, CO  is just east of Parker and abou... 02/21/2013

This winter, my favorite thing way to spend the cold, snowy weekends is at a friend’s charming log home in Elizabeth, Colorado.  Elizabeth is small rural community located about equidistance from Denver and Colorado Springs.  When I woke up this morning, it was maybe 4 degrees outside.    When I finally ventured downstairs and looked out the windows, I was grateful that my camera was close by.             Regardless of whether a country home is your primary residence or your weekend get away, the ability to see wildlife from your living room window is a BIG advantage of country life style.    Sincerely, Sondra Meyer, CPA Colorado Horse Property Specialist.   Colorado.
