Colorado B.S. Thread

It's not worth it to try to buy during this market. I read something the other day that suggested many of the mmj owners are investing in real estate instead of reinvesting to grow the economy. And thus pricing out many people who don't have cash on hand like that. They fear a traditional account at banks or credit unions will be at risk of government. I'll buy a beach house and keep renting in denver at this rate

 

I doubt MMJ is the only driver in this market. It's part of the equation but not all of it. What's driving the prices up is people moving here in droves. Why are they moving here? Not sure. I assume MMJ and recreational MJ is a contributor. But not the only one. Pot heads aren't that motivated.

I can tell you this, I'd rather live in Colorado than Iowa regardless of the rents. I think that's a major reason we're seeing an influx on new residents. So, basically the same reason people have been moving here since the early 70s like my parents.

 

Are you hiring??

 

Do you have a vagina?

 

Not last time I checked. You must own a strip club

 

EVERBODY is hiring now. What's happening is that employers are raising their wages in order to attract and or keep employees. Currently employed people are seeing help wanted with starting pay more than their current pay and are applying and getting those jobs. Then the employer who just lost an employee to higher wages raises his starting wages and puts up a help wanted sign. And the cycle continues.

Welcome to 1995 again.

 

No. But I generally hire woman as our cliental is mostly guys 18-25.

White men under the age of 65 aren't a protected class.

 

Ahhh damn well it was worth a try. Let me know if you ever need a graphic designer. Asking my boss for a raise today once he gets in..

You should ask for a raise today. Don't demand one, be very logical about it and explain why he needs to give you a raise in order to keep from having to give a new employee the same raise.

I also have a friend at Sticker Giant. They may be looking for graphic designers. They're growing like crazy.

If the appraisal comes out at what the offer is then they don't have to worry about covering the extra in cash. I definitely had to offer about 4% over asking on my home that I bought a year ago. I have heard stories of people writing letter to the seller basically begging them to accept their offers. New home building is blowing up right now, so hopefully that will help the market but definitely needs time to catch up.

 

I've heard of them.. I will definitely check into it. I'm currently working at a small print shop in Arvada and have been here for just short of 2 years. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. We deal with mostly small business owners, and while I enjoy helping local businesses with branding and such, I have to also deal with their attitudes. That is the worst part.

Also sucks that since I've been here, the former manager left, as well as our other employee, as well as an intern that quit about a month ago. So the current situation is me running the shop by myself basically all week, with the owner coming in for a few hours each day to "help out". It's just a whole lot of stress for the pay of a fast food worker.

 

In my case I got lucky as the appraisal came in right at asking price and I saved the 2.5% over asking that we had to offer. In the event that the seller doesn't make that concession however, you better be ready to cut a huge check.

 

Read this. Basically saying that the market is cooling a bit in the nutso Denver metro area.

Got myself a new copilot yesterday. She is 11 months old half Alaskan malamute half Australian Shepard. Working on a name for her. It is currently Daisy.

 

That's what we had to do to get our house. played up the baby on the way and lease is up in 30-45 days and have no concessions to close quick and easy. Our appraisal came in over our offer, good and bad I guess.

 

Hey good for you... Anything you can do to get an advantage over other offers
