Bye,Bye Texas!!! Hello Colorado!!!

[Dopegeist]

Just depends on WHERE you are looking and WHO is the lessor.
It's out there, you just gotta find it.

And how far back to you think most landlords look into your employment history...Basically just what you provide them. Wink. Wink.

I've never had a problem finding a cash rental off Craigslist. It can take time >6 mos, but you aren't buying the place. Just asking yourself "Can I grow here"? If you are really having a tough time presenting the illusion of conformed employment, maybe a '420 friendly' landlord might be up your ally (they'll post as such in their description). No need to explain shit. Just probably pay a little more.

Or, go rural, CASH is KING in the country...Especially those old run down farm houses.

Welcome Tex...lots of texas folks coming to CO lately. Just be careful tooling around in your car in the first winter. I'm headed back to CO after a very short and shitty "vacation" in the AZ desert.

 

[organicozarks]

I will be moving up there in November. Can't wait to be legal!!!!

We will be in the Denver area for business reasons. I would rather be in the mountains, but you gotta make a living right? :)

 

[sky high]

there are good (6 figure) jobs up here as well. Just gotta possess the qualifications and education to step in the door...like anywhere else. In fact, there's a shit ton of money under the surface in the resort areas. Again, it just depends what you do.
We've sure done OK. No way I could do the Denver/traffic thing after 30 years up here.

But being from Misery myself originally.... Denver is a huge step up! Good luck with the move

Denver proper, or Denver Metro?
Denver is a fun town. Plenty of stuff to do no matter your budget, as long as you seek it. If you're a drinker, locate yourself near the light-rail, bus line or affordable Taxi....Driving over on your way back to Highlands Ranch every night, is a good way to get a DUI. Denver is often voted 'Drunkest City' in US. I'm sure they have the DUI count to match. Good thing in Denver is with all the other assholes on the road, you usually have to do something pretty SPECTACULAR to get pulled over....Or DWB through Cherry Creek :)

Ofcourse bigger houses in the suburbs than in the city.

Fellow Texan here....GET THE HELL OUT OF PUEBLO! That place sucks!

as far as renting places....we just print out our bank statement. If you don't have a good chunk of change they are easy to forge at a library. All ya need is a printer, scissors, clear tape and youre gravy.

GET THE HELL OUT OF NEW MEXICO and MOVE TO COLORADO!!!!!!!!! lol

[pimpmasterdlx]

I jus got lucky and found the spot on craigslist.They didnt care that I didnt have a job.

Where did you end up settling? We have Farmers everywhere... lol

 

[Dopegeist]

If you get a house off CL, I reccommend you check the county assessor records....Fraud is not unheard of there.

HUGE problem out here, Dopegeist. People keep an eye on foreclosures, then move to take them over and rent them out during the interim between the homeowner's move-out and the bank's takeover. Lots of renters have ended up in a really bad situation because of that sort of thing. The more foreclosures, the worse the problem seems to be.

Southside of Pueblo.

Southside of Pueblo.

Well, the next time you head up towards the Fort...

Sure will!

Texas transplant to CO here as well. I looked around in Pueblo and a few other areas before making my decision. Be careful in Pueblo! Lots of poverty/thievery. Keep your smells from getting out.
After checking out many places, I decided on Denver just due to the availability of being anonymous and availability of jobs. I am renting, but once a few rounds are under my belt here I am going to be purchasing a place on a mountainside.
