How Much House Can I Afford?
A Guide to Determine Your Purchasing Power Having your own home is an important goal that everyone hopes to achieve one day.

Mortgage Broker Q&A : Purchasing and Refinancing A Home During and After A CH 13 Bankruptcy
I am serving up this Q&A in an effort to help consumers during their quest on finding a lender that will work with them, during their CH 13 bankruptcy, so they can purchase or refinance a home. If you have been denied a loan, or working with a loan officer that does not understand the nature of bankruptcy law, and FHA rules, you have come to the right place. Being a Denver Mortgage Broker, we have access to not only more programs, but we do not have to deal with the conservative overlays of many local, retail banks. Just because you can purchase or refinance under bankruptcy law, does not mean that bank has an appetite for this kind of loan, mainly because it is more work intensive, and involves everyone to come together, in a successful collaboration, understanding FHA rules, and bankruptcy procedures. I will modify this article [...]

3 Reasons Why I Live In And Love LoHi Denver, COLORADO
When I moved from New York, I didn't want to lose my urban roots, so I automatically gravitated to a NY Style loft located in the Highlands area of Denver, CO. in a small neighborhood called LoHi. I just really appreciate an open-air floor plan with high ceilings, exposed duct work, and brick. A true city feel. The real estate in Highlands has been consistently appreciating since I moved to the neighborhood in 2009. There was literally no retail when I moved here then. A run down Kung-Fu Studio was where one of the best bars in the world is now, Williams &Graham, a renowned speakeasy serving specialty cocktails in a prohibition-era atmosphere with a secret entrance and alley exit. The multi-family developers have landed here in a huge way. Dickinson Plaza on 32nd Avenue, which housed the Laughing Latte Coffee Shop, Fat Jacks's Super Subs, and 420 Friendly [...]
6 Types of People Who Should Move to Golden, Colorado
Colorado is changing so much but tucked in among all the progress is the community of Golden. Yes, you probably know it as the iconic home to Coors Brewing Company but there’s so much more that Golden has to offer. It’s an outdoors enthusiast’s haven.

Are you looking to get into the Denver housing market? You’re not the only one. In an ultra-competitive market such as ours, a Colorado mortgage broker like myself can help you gain the advantage you need. The Denver real estate market continued its red-hot ways last month and there is no sign of a slow-down in sight. Per an article on Westword, an increasing number of people are flocking to the Denver area and buying homes. These people are all competing for the market’s supply, resulting in several bidding wars and plenty sold-above-asking deals. In fact, the article notes that demand is currently so high that agents are now putting “coming soon” signs on front lawns before the “for sale” signs go up. In March 2017 in particular, the number of homes sold in the Denver area increased by 36% from the previous month for a total of 4,347 [...]
Denver Market Update – February 2017
Denver Mortgage Broker – Brian Quigley A new year is in and so is another month in the Denver real estate market. Per a recent article from the Denver Post, the housing market in Metro Denver could see major changes in 2017. After the initial month of the new year, the rent for apartments is slowing down while the price of homes continues to rise at a rapid pace. The article notes that a report conducted by a Texas-based website estimates that metro Denver rent prices are increasing by 4.4%. This is down significantly from the previous gains recorded 12 months prior when increases were happening between 8-10%. However, there is one notable factor that seems to be working in favor of Denver. The area is seeing a growing number of younger people moving to the city, working at high-paying jobs that will ultimately allow them to afford higher-priced [...]
