What Happened to My Lawn?

Buying College Housing – Now Is the Time, Part 2

Colorado weather can be rough on a lawn yearround. If your turf is looking less than lush, you may need a professional diagnosis.

The rental market is tight these days, especially in college communities leaving many families to consider purchasing a home for their student. If you’re considering it, don’t delay.

What Happened to My Lawn?

By Deryn Davidson, Horticulture Agent, Colorado State University Extension Boulder County One of the most common issues we’re hearing about in the Extension office this spring is dead turf. People are calling and emailing looking for answers about why vast swaths of their once thriving lawns are now seemingly kaput. As is often the case with horticulture mysteries, there are several possible culprits.

Those at the top of the list are winter desiccation, insect damage, and/or mite damage. Lawns that were seeded or sodded in 2021 are more likely to have been hit.

I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, but last fall and winter were extremely dry. Winter desiccation is one of the most common issue that we’re seeing this year, particularly on lawns that were drought stressed going into the winter. As a matter of course, we shut down our irrigation systems in the fall, but when we experience dry, sunny, windy and cold conditions, as we did in late 2021, many landscape plants can benefit immensely from winter watering (particularly evergreen trees and turf). Though it feels far away, keep this in mind as we move into next winter. More information on this can be found at extension.colostate.edu/topicareas/yard-garden/fall-and-winterwatering-7-211/ As a side note, if your lawn is healthy this year or once you get it back to health, be sure to keep an eye on your irrigation. Often people don’t realize there are issues with it like broken, crooked, or clogged heads until it’s too late and the grass is already stressed.

feeders. If they were in your lawn last fall (often undetected), then the areas they were feeding would have gone into winter already stressed and more vulnerable to winter desiccation. You’ll know if you had root feeders if the dead grass peels up easily from the soil surface. Winter mites, which are also on the list of possibilities are not root feeders and therefore the turf will not peel up. Mite damage is typically found on lawns facing south or west. They can be difficult to detect, but the best management strategy is late winter/early spring irrigation or even better, natural precipitation.

I spoke with Tony Koski, CSU Extension State Turf Specialist, who has been seeing dead turfgrass all along the Front Range this spring. He said, “No matter what killed your grass, if it hasn’t greened up at this point, it’s almost certainly not coming back so it’s time to seed or sod.” He explained that while seeding in the fall is generally better because it’s easier to get it established in cooler temperatures, you can seed in the summer too. The key is getting seed to soil contact and keeping the area moist long enough for the new grass to get established.

For more information on how to reseed and sod, visit this link for how-to videos planttalk.colostate. edu/youtube-videos/lawnvideos/#reseed Tony encourages people to buy from a reputable seed company.

He said that Jax gets their seed from Pawnee Buttes Seed (a local seed supplier out of Greeley) and that local garden centers like them are more likely to get high quality seeds than some other retailers.

Another strategy to deal with areas of dead turf, is to replace it with something else. Landscaping with drought tolerant native and adapted plants in place of grass is becoming more and more popular.

It can help decrease your water bill and increase pollinator habitat and overall biodiversity in your yard. While you might not want a patchy island of perennials in the middle of otherwise healthy turfgrass, it could be an opportunity to reevaluate your landscape.

ASK ANGI

What should I ask garage pros before booking? summer. Ask these five questions to determine whether a pro is the right fit to remodel or organize your garage:

Garage renovation can create a great hobby or work space, but make sure you hire the right pro to handle it.

(Dreamstime/TNS)

Paul F. P. Pogue, Ask Angi (TNS) The garage was designed for a basic purpose—storing cars—but it’s also one of the most versatile areas of your home. A talented garage renovation pro can turn it into a functional living space or dedicated hobby zone while still keeping the car-storage thing going.

Garage renovations are big business in the spring and

1. How will you customize your work to my specific needs?

There’s no such thing as a onesize-fits-all solution for garage remodeling. Ask your pro how they will approach your job to match exactly what you want.

You should also think about the infrastructure of your garage. Most basic garages only have a few electrical outlets and an overhead light. If you have specific plans for the garage requiring higher power or improved water flow, you should include those changes during renovations. This goes double if you want to add living space such as an apartment above the garage.

2. How will you approach safety?

The garage strikes an unusual balance. It’s potentially a living area, a storage area, and a work

area, and that means you’re often putting flammable liquids and power tools in the same space where you’re working or just hanging out. You can be storing your most valuable items, such as cars and power tools, alongside some of your least valuable, such as rakes and shovels. Make sure your garage plan takes all this into account.

3. What are you going to

do with the floor?

Garage flooring is its own wideranging field. Early in the planning stages, ensure you and your contractor are on the same page regarding how to handle the floor, whether it’s an epoxy sealer or a more elaborate decorative element.

You might also think about raising your floor to match the height of the residential area of the house if it doesn’t already.

4. How will you adjust the climate in the garage?

Keeping a garage warm in winter and cool in summer is a

5. Will you follow code and apply for permits?

This is important in any job, but garage work is one of those areas where corners seem to get cut a little more often. Ensure your contractor pulls the correct permits and that any new licensed work like electrical lines or plumbing is done on the up-and-up. You don’t want any nasty surprises later.

Work done without permits can interfere with a future home sale, and the permit/inspection process also protects you.

Tweet your home care questions with #AskAngi and we’ll try to answer them in a future column.

tricky matter, especially if you’re going to use it for more than storage. You might need to run new HVAC ducts to the area or bump up the insulation in the walls or garage door.

Surging home values draw more to the cash-out refi

Growing equity lets people unlock more cash. (Lendgo)

Finally enough cash to make smart financial moves.

PRNewswire/ -- People are leveraging their greater equity to release cash from their home in amounts sufficient to consolidate debt or renovate the kitchen and bathrooms. With the cost of living climbing every day, it’s nice to

know something beneficial to homeowners is also climbing: the amount of cash they can release from their home.

Growing equity makes a cashout refinance attractive to more homeowners because they can unlock more money.

The average rate for a 15-year mortgage just climbed to 5.38% (fixed) according to Mortgage

News Daily, shrinking the pool of potential refinancers whose current rate is significantly above market averages. The rule of thumb is that a rate 1% lower than your current rate opens the door for smart refinancing.

But equity is also climbing across America thanks to surging property values, making the cashout option more attractive even while the usual selling feature of a refinance—a much lower payment—grows less likely. After an appraisal, many people learn they “suddenly” own more home than they expected.

Since the amount of cash people can get is directly related to their equity, people can now get enough cash to pay off exorbitant credit cards or make critical home repairs even after paying closing costs on the new mortgage.

Popular quote comparison site Lendgo has tracked an increase in people exploring the cash-out option over a regular refinance. Growing equity makes the cash-out option attractive

for more homeowners while, simultaneously, climbing interest rates have dampened enthusiasm for an ordinary refi.

A rate just 1% lower than your current rate can save you hundreds of dollars a month and thousands of dollars over the life of the mortgage. Get fast personalized quotes before rates rise.

Volatility Requires Quick Action

If you want to refinance before rates climb again, the clock is ticking. Luckily, one of the most valuable tools in mortgage shopping gets results in three minutes. More and more homeowners are using the free service Lendgo to see their best options and thinking of themselves as being in a race with inflation and the next 2022 rate hike.

When a refinance around 5% can empower you to vanquish credit cards charging you around 20%, you owe it to yourself to explore the option.

REFER - New Nationwide Real Estate Referral Network Launches community. Exclusive “Speaker Sessions,” giveaways, in-person events, and industry partnerships highlight some of the additional offerings in REFER.

Left: REFER co-founder, Jason Cassity; Right: REFER co-founder, Eric Simon

PRNewswire/-- REFER, a first of its kind real estate referral network, has officially launched in the United States and Canada. REFER’s member roster already boasts real estate professionals in close to 100 different cities, with over $1.2 billion dollars in combined real estate sales volume.

Co-founded by San Diego real estate agent Jason Cassity (The Cassity Team x COMPASS), and Eric Simon (The Broke Agent), REFER aims to set itself apart from the traditional real estate referral group model by over-indexing on providing additional value back to their members, aside from just the referrals that are made within the

“I have been a member of other referral networks in the past, and saw a real opportunity to build something great for our members. At REFER, we are going to over-index in useful value-adds, so that come renewal time next year, every member wants to re-join, whether they received a referral or not. We’re really not trying to build a business, as much as we are a community,” says Cassity.

REFER has already booked some of the real estate industry’s biggest, A-List speakers and personalities, for their “Speaker Sessions.” These 30-60 minute interviews and Q&A sessions are exclusive to the REFER community. Booked speakers include 4-time best-selling author Chris Smith (June), and leading real estate coaches Jason Pantana (July) and Tom Ferry (Aug).

Many of the cities were booked during pre-sale, but a few select spots remain. For more information about membership in REFER, contact them atrefernetwork.co/contact.

Collected too much stuff? How to cut through clutter

Declutter a little bit at a time to make the task less daunting (Dreamstime/TNS)

Gail Rosenblum Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (TNS) Greg Rue remembers feeling “slammed” when Arc’s Value Village Thrift Stores and Donation Centers in the Twin Cities reopened in May 2020.

“We went from 200 or 300 donors a day [pre-pandemic] to 600 donors a day just at our Richfield location,” said Rue, director of thrift business. “It was nuts. People took stock of what they wanted and no longer wanted.”

The new anti-materialism age

had arrived!

Well, not quite.

These days, donations to Arc’s Value Village are “steady,” Rue said, but nowhere near those higher numbers. “We’re still a consumer society,” Rue said.

“People are still out buying.”

Suzanne Austin agrees.

“Consumption is the American way, and there’s an addictive component to that,” said Austin, of Maple Grove. She’s a decluttering expert with Caring Transitions, which provides older adults and their families with assistance as they downsize.

“People like the act of buying,” she said, “but not necessarily the act of using. I don’t know if we’ll get away from consumption.”

But for those who would like to try, Austin has plenty of useful tips. And with Father’s Day upon us, she suggests that now is a good time to have talks with aging parents — as well as young adult children — to find out what items are and are not meaningful to them and, thus, worth saving.

Then, let the purging begin!

it again,” she said. With nicer items, think about someone who could enjoy it. Gifting it, Austin said, can take the sting out of letting something go.

Realize most of the value is sentimental. This is a tough one.

Austin tells the story of a client who had owned an expensive dining room table for 40 years.

She took it to a consignment shop. It sold — for $11. She was distraught until Austin told her that the table had gone to a tremendously grateful refugee family who would now make their own memories around it.

Focus on ‘the incredibly rewarding’ feeling of walking into a decluttered room. That just might help you avoid mindless consumption.

And if it doesn’t? You could always become a decluttering expert like Austin.

“I have become very minimalistic in this business,” Austin said. “It’s important to enjoy the things you have. But if you don’t enjoy them, get rid of them.”

First, get the conversation going. If you’re trying to help an aging parent declutter to stay put or in preparation for downsizing, you might say something like, “Let’s organize the house so it’s a more enjoyable place for family gatherings.”

Accept that we are emotionally tied to some items. “This natural tendency has not changed and I do not see it changing anytime soon,” Austin said. “Photos are probably the number one example. Also, heirloom jewelry such as Mother’s wedding ring or Father’s wedding band. And everyone has a little special collection; birds, coins, paintings from a special trip.”

With such collections, Austin suggests that their owners at least “declutter a little bit.” Do you really need 325 seashells?

Take one section at a time.

Delve in for one hour a day. Pick one drawer and declutter that drawer. Return the next day and repeat.

Ask if an item has been used in the past year. “If they haven’t, they’re probably not going to use

REAL ESTATE NEWS

Realtor.com® 2022 Forecast Update: Real Estate Gets a Refresh from the Frenzy who choose to wait until later in the year, take that time to assess your budget so you’re set up with a strong financial footing whenever you’re ready to move forward.”

Active listings will grow 15.0% year-over-year as the inventory recovery accelerates in 2H 2022; higher home sales prices (+6.6%) and mortgage rates (to 5.5%) add to affordability issues SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As rising inflation and mortgage rates bring U.S. housing demand back from the 2021 frenzy, Realtor.com®’s newly-updated 2022 forecast predicts inventory will grow doubledigits over 2021 and offer buyers a better-than-expected chance to find a home. Home sales will hit the second-highest level in 15 years, trailing only the 2021 pace, as rising incomes combined with higher housing costs continue to present a mixed bag of affordability issues.

The updated forecast anticipates a summer break from a feverish pace of home sales that will provide space for active listings to grow at a faster year-over-year pace than originally projected (+15.0% vs. +0.3%). Combined with returning seasonality and builders ramping up production, these trends could lead to a refresh of the housing market by as early as this fall.

“Financial conditions have shifted June 17-18, 2022

in a big way since the end of 2021 and the housing market is adjusting accordingly. As Americans grapple with higher prices for everyday expenses while today’s buyers face housing costs that are up 50% from a year ago, recent home sales data shows some are taking a step back from the market,” said Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for Realtor. com®. “Our updated 2022 forecast anticipates that demand will continue decelerating through the summer, providing breathing room for the inventory recovery to accelerate.

As a result, this fall could be an opportune time to find a home – for both first-time and repeat buyers alike. Still, preparation will be key throughout 2022, as it continues to be a seller’s market and asking prices remain high. For buyers

While Americans have faced a whirlwind of changes so far this year, a changing economic landscape is the biggest driver of updates to Realtor.com®’s 2022 housing forecast. Inflation has made a more significant and long-standing impact on real estate markets than was anticipated six months ago, and is reflected in trends like rapidly-climbing mortgage rates.

Combined with record-high home listing prices and rents, home shoppers are feeling the strain on their budgets. As a result, buyer demand has been softening this Spring from its early 2022 surge.

Higher costs will continue to challenge 2022 buyers, as mortgage rates have already far surpassed Realtor.com®’s earlier prediction of 3.6% and home sale price growth year-over-year is expected to more than double its originally-forecasted pace (+6.6% vs. 2.9%). At the same time, Realtor.com®’s updated projection for year-end 2022 mortgage rates (5.5%) anticipates that rates have largely adjusted for the bulk of expected 2022 Fed hikes.

The rapid shifts in the economic landscape have some silver linings when it comes to housing afford-

ability. With the unemployment rate near 50-year lows, employers are feeling the pressure to compete for talent, driving wage growth upwards from earlier year-over-year predictions (+3.8% vs. +3.3%). The competitive labor market may also give some buyers more negotiating power on workplace flexibility, creating more opportunities to relocate to relatively affordable housing markets. In fact, data from the first quarter of 2022 showed that 40.5% of Realtor.com® home shoppers viewed listings located outside of their current state, up from 33.4% in 2020.

Overall, the updated 2022 forecast reflects a housing market that is charting a path toward more sustainability, relative to the past two years of ups and downs. Home sales are still projected to hit a near record-high pace in 2022 despite trailing 2021 levels (-6.7%) and their original forecast (+6.6%), while the projected homeownership rate will hold roughly steady (65.6% vs. 65.8%). For many Americans, housing affordability will remain a significant obstacle as demand continues to outmatch supply, although by a smaller margin than in recent years. Buyers struggling with higher housing costs can find resources via sites like Realtor. com®, including its down payment assistance tool.

Boulder Creek Neighborhoods is streamlining spaces in their West Edge at Colliers Hill . (Photo: Jonathan Castner)

Main-floor, flexible living long into retirement Boulder Creek Neighborhoods now selling in West Edge at Colliers Hill

By Sarah Huber, At Home Colorado

F

or nearly a decade, Helen and Jim Gibb considered and reconsidered a move from their Louisville home of 30 years to a more flexible home with lower-maintenance conveniences and main-floor living. They stuck their toes into the market a few times and gathered information about what they wanted most in a home optimized for ownership long into retirement. “Number one on my wish list was to find a good home builder,” recalled Helen. “We feel like Boulder Creek is a builder who will do the right thing.”

Jim’s home buying checklist was similarly met after the Gibbs peeked into a Boulder Creek Neighborhoods model: He prioritized the peace of mind offered by a lower-maintenance home

by Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, along with “a house full of windows for natural light, a good location and a builder known for quality.” The Gibbs are currently under contract and hope to move into the Boulder Creek development of West Edge at Colliers Hill in Erie by early 2023.

AT HOME COLORADO

“Boulder Creek homes are lower-maintenance by design, and this is fully on display at West Edge at Colliers Hill.”

“We were looking for our forever home, and Boulder Creek has helped us every step of the way,” said Helen, a retired writer of arts and crafts how-to guides. “We can’t say enough about the people at Boulder Creek and especially Rebecca (Lucero),” the Gibbs’ community sales manager at West Edge at Colliers Hill. “Her willingness to go above and beyond has been exceptional.”

Boulder Creek’s commitment not only to help people find the ideal home for their lifestyle but also to make the buying process as smooth and as joyful as possible is particularly significant in Helen and Jim’s case. That’s because, due to

logistics, much of the Gibbs’ initial correspondence with Lucero was remote. “We’d facetime with Rebecca, and she’d be on our lot, showing us what lies where, with the winds 30 miles an hour, and it was 35 degrees out there, bless her heart,” Helen said. Later, “when we asked to see the model, she’d say, ‘I’ll get the hard hats and meet you there in however many minutes – she’s been amazing to work with,” added Jim, who is retired from the beef, cattle and genetics industry.

Lucero said she’s simply carrying out the Boulder Creek Neighborhood mantra: “Lifefullness®,” or Boulder Creek’s mission to empower homeowners to thrive as they pursue their passions, thanks in part to the lower-maintenance lifestyle – baked into each Boulder Creek home – that frees up time to focus on what’s important in life. She noted, “We want (our buyers) to have a wellbuilt home and a home that functions for them for many years to come. We also want the buying and building process to be an organized, professional and respectful process for our buyers, which makes for a positive overall experience.”

Intuitive, main-floor living

For the Gibbs, the Elbert floorplan in the Ridge series at West Edge at Colliers Hill is exactly the “well-built, bright home” they were seeking, Jim said, explaining, “This is a home that we can age in place in, with everything on the main floor.”

Both Helen and Jim appreciate that the Elbert floorplan includes a secondary suite in addition to the primary suite. “This was important to us because we have friends and family come from out-of-state, friends about our age, and we’d like a nice place for them to stay,” he said. While the unfinished basement suggests many possibilities, from a recreation room to hang out with their grandson to a crafting studio, main-floor living simplifies daily activities, said Jim – a boon for those who want to skip the stairs and for those who, stairs or not, value a streamlined, intuitively-designed home. The laundry room is only a few steps from the primary suite, hallways are wide, bathrooms are spacious and electric outlets are raised to minimize bending.

From the first look, the Elbert floorplan’s meticulously laid-out kitchen delighted the Gibbs, who enjoy cooking and entertaining. They opted to upgrade the design package to include a gas range and high-efficiency JennAir appliances.

“We’ve really been enjoying working with the design center,” said Helen, who brings her artistic eye to the process. “The options are gorgeous, and they have exquisite materials that will give the home that extra special look.” Boulder Creek partners with Saddleback Design in Denver to allow homebuyers to further personalize their home through flooring and countertops.

going into the home,” said Jim. “Electric window shades, smart internet functions, smart thermostat – they make life easier.”

Lower-maintenance by design

“Boulder Creek homes are lower-maintenance by design, and this is fully on display at West Edge at Colliers Hill,” said Jessica Champlin, chief revenue officer at Boulder Creek Neighborhoods.

The development of ranch-style, single-family patio homes will count 53 homes at buildout, and the lifestyle association, Boulder Creek’s telling take on the home owner’s association, will maintain the front yard and cover snow removal.

Helen said, “We are looking forward to traveling more again, so we are happy to know these things will be taken care of – they bring peace of mind and the freedom to take off when we want to.” She and Jim are also eager to explore the nearby trails by foot and bicycle. “Jim is a cycling athlete, and I get around on my ebike,” Helen said. “I’m looking forward to going down to the ice cream parlor with my grandson. I can take the trail into Old Town Erie, and I won’t have to worry about the hill on the way home.”

In response to input from other Boulder Creek communities, backyards in West Edge at Colliers Hill will be fenced, and buyers may create their own little slice of heaven just out their large sliding glass doors – whether that’s a water-wise Zen getaway, a vegetable garden or a grassy nook for the dog to romp. A front courtyard frames the home on select models and is a peaceful setting for morning coffee with the neighbors or cocktails in the evening.

“West Edge is unique among our neighborhoods,” Champlin said. “The combination of the ranch-style floor plans and dedicated backyard space in a vibrant master plan is an exciting option to bring to the market.” Some of the perks of establishing West Edge within the neighborhood of Colliers Hill are the welcoming atmosphere and the abundant amenities already woven into the community. Reading groups, game clubs and walking buddies are the norm, and summer afternoons are always happier at the Colliers Hill outdoor pool, complemented by jet sprays and a kid-friendly waterfall.

Beyond Colliers Hill, Erie beckons as a great place to live, work and play. “You might say Erie is the up-and-coming Louisville, and we loved living in Louisville,” said Jim. Indeed, from the award winning Erie Community Center to the plethora of terrific restaurants, breweries and shops downtown to easy access to Boulder, Denver and the Denver International Airport, Erie is a growing, vibrant community. Rated one of the safest cities in Colorado, Erie radiates a small-town vibe in an incredible location minutes from scenic trails, a championship golf course and dozens of summer and winter recreational activities.

Boulder Creek Neighborhoods is selling now at West Edge at Colliers Hill. To learn more or to tour a model home, visit DwellWestEdge.com or contact the Boulder Creek Concierge Team at 303.309.0088.

Boulder Creek is offering two series of floorplans at West Edge, each showcasing farmhouse and craftsman style exteriors. The Ridge series numbers 1,600 to 2,200 square feet, perfect for empty nesters and those, like the Gibbs, looking to downsize. The Peak series, inspired by the now sold-out Villas at Calmante in Superior, measures up to 3,500 square feet and includes a finished lower level. Two- and three car garages are available, and homes can feature patios, decks and walkouts, depending on the lay of the land.

Part 2: Buying College Housing – Now Is The Time

DUANE DUGGAN

In my last article, Part 1 of “Buying College Housing – Now Is The Time,” I discussed how purchasing a condo or house for your child to live in while attending college can be a worthwhile investment and can provide financial as well as other benefits for your college student.

As you evaluate this decision, here’s a guide to help you:

Helping Your College Student Establish Credit

If you decide to have your college student on the mortgage and deed, you can help your student establish credit prior to making a mortgage loan application by obtaining a credit card in his or her name, preferably a year prior to your house or condo purchase. In addition, if the student has a car, it is a good idea to have a small loan on the car in the student’s name, which can also help your student’s credit rating.

It is also good idea to meet with a mortgage professional to discuss strategies well in advance of a possible purchase.

Method of Ownership for the “Student Property”

It’s necessary to talk to your accountant and attorney to determine the ownership method that works best for you. Some parents will buy the property as a second home or as an owner-occupied property with the student on the deed and loan.

Others will treat it 100% as a rental property for additional tax benefits.

There are many ways of holding the title including creating a family limited liability company (or FLLC).

14

AT HOME COLORADO

Rental Roommate Income

One option is to buy a 1-bedroom condo for your student to live in alone. However, a 2-bedroom unit will allow for a roommate, and the rent from the roommate can supplement the mortgage payment.

If a 3-bedroom unit or home can be found, the rental income from 2 roommates can help the monthly cash flow even more. Be aware that there are occupancy limits imposed in some communities. In other words, check the local ordinances before deciding if it is okay to have five students living in one property.

In Boulder, zoning rules allow three unrelated people in a low-density zone and four unrelated people in a medium or high-density zone.

Roommate Lease or Rental Agreement

Even though the potential roommates are typically close friends, it is a good idea to have a written rental agreement for roommates.

The roommate rental agreement should cover all of the terms typically found in a residential lease such as: • Lease term • Rental rate and due date • Security deposit • Notice to vacate • Utility payment agreement • Maximum occupancy • Parking • Pets

Financing for the “Student Property” If a condo is being purchased,

the type of financing and down payment options available can be determined by the owner occupancy ratio of the condo complex and what particular approvals (FHA, Fannie Mae, etc.) are available. It is good to have the lender check to see if the complex has the approvals for the type of financing you are considering.

Disadvantages of the SingleFamily Home • The student needs to mow and water the lawn, shovel snow, and maintain the home

Is it Better to Purchase a House or a Condo/ Townhome?

What to do with the Rental Property When the Student is Ready to Move On

This decision depends on whether or not the student will be able to maintain a house and be responsible for exterior maintenance, snow removal, lawn care, etc. Often a condo suits student life best since most college students are not interested in mowing the lawn in their free time. Typically, an owner will be paying a Homeowner’s Association (HOA) fee at a condo or townhome in order to cover these maintenance items. This will increase the monthly cost but will ensure that the upkeep and maintenance tasks are completed.

Advantages of a Condo for a Student • No lawn care, snow shoveling, or exterior maintenance • Easier to “just leave” for the summer Disadvantages of a Condo for a Student • Owner occupancy ratio of the complex could affect the ability to purchase, sell or refinance • Homeowner’s Association fee may be high and out of your control • Loud music or parties might bother nearby neighbors Advantages of the Single-Family Home • No concern over occupancy ratios • A single-family home might be easier to resell than a condo since you tend to have more competing properties when selling a condo or townhome • Often there is no Homeowner Association fee

• Neighborhood may be less friendly to a group of students living there

When the student is ready to move on and has hopefully graduated, there are a few options to consider.

The owners can keep the property as an investment rental, the former student may keep it as their first home, or you can exchange it for a real estate investment somewhere else.

As an example, one family I worked with purchased a property for their first child who attended and graduated from CU-Boulder, then sold the property in Boulder and bought a new property in a different college town where their next child was planning to attend school.

Potential financial benefits include: • Possible appreciation in value • Possible tax benefits • Debt reduction on an amortized loan which increases equity build up • Keep as an investment after college for cash flow Purchasing a college home is a significant decision. Consulting the appropriate professionals can help create a plan for a housing situation that could provide many short- and long-term benefits for your student and your family.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

DIY home upgrades to add style and beauty PRNewswire/ -- Home upgrades are necessary for a variety of reasons, but many homeowners look to update their homes to add comfort and beauty. While a complete renovation can be appealing, it can also be costly and time consuming.

colors—mix and match to create a custom look. Plus, it features a built-in water management system, overlapping edges to minimize gaps, reversible outside corners and a variety of available accessories.

However, if you’re willing to take on some of the work yourself, there are ways to upgrade your living spaces to add style (and value) without a contractor. Consider these DIY ideas to spruce up your home’s aesthetics.

Windows can often be overlooked or left with the simple paper shades or aluminum blinds. Consider replacing them with plantation shutters, wooden blinds or drapes that better suit the style of the room. In addition to blinds, curtains provide another opportunity to add design elements. From geometric panels to sheers, the possibilities are nearly endless. Or simply match the curtain panels to the color of your walls or an accent color for a look that can match almost any style.

Freshen Up Paint

A new coat of paint can drastically update your spaces without making major renovations. Light colors like gray, beige or white can make smaller spaces feel more open while darker shades like navy and purple can create a dramatic look. If you don’t want to paint the entire room, adding a pop of color with an accent wall or touching up the trim are quick and easy improvements.

Adding paint to a less traditional spot like the ceiling or refreshing cabinets with a new color can also help bring your spaces to life.

Upgrade Window Treatments

Install Mess-Free Stone Accents

If you’re looking to add warmth and texture, easy-to-install stone veneer can provide the look of natural stone without the expense.

A mortarless option like ClipStone is designed to be installed with screws and common tools, making it easy to achieve the look of traditional masonry without the hassle and mess. Durable and low maintenance, you don’t have to worry about sealing or painting and it’s a perfect option for exterior or interior installation that can be installed in any weather conditions.

Available in a variety of styles and

Update Accessories

Cabinet pulls, outlet covers, curtain rods, switch plates and doorknobs are easily ignored, but replacing them can be an inexpensive way to add small touches of elegance. With a variety of designs and finishes to choose from, updating handles and knobs can create a look that

appears expensive. The same is true for metal switch covers and outlet plates. While decorative curtain rods may be on the pricier side, adding a coat of paint in a metallic finish could provide a cheaper alternative.

Improve Curb Appeal

There are a multitude of inexpensive ways to give your home’s exterior a makeover. Start by pressure washing your siding and windows, which can make your house look almost as good as a fresh coat of paint for a fraction of the time and money. Clean your driveway, patio and walkways to maximize your investment. Pulling weeds, trimming trees and bushes, and patching bald spots in the yard can also go a long way as can planting greenery and making upgrades like adding mulch beds, water features or decorative edging. Another idea: replace your front door or give it a fresh coat of paint to add a pop of color.

Tips So You Don’t Get Hacked at Home

Smart home devices may make your home vulnerable to hackers.

(Brandon Romanchuk/Unsplash)

With the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine, experts warn that cyberattacks are increasing at an unprecedented rate. There were a record

BY TOM number of data KALINSKI breaches and ransomware attacks last year, reports Forbes Magazine.

The average internet-connected device in your home or on your wrist is targeted an average of five attacks per day, estimates ZDNet. Hackers target “basically everything in your home that connects to the World Wide Web,” says the Oregon FBI. These Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are controlled by your phone, computer, or voice.

The list of hackable items is long: smart TVs, home alarms, door locks, web cams, smart thermometers, kitchen appliances, smart sprinklers, smart lights, smart watches, fitness trackers and digital home assistants such as Alexa, Amazon Echo, or Google Home. Even your smart toothbrush and fun stuff like remote-controlled robots, games and gaming systems, interactive dolls and talking stuffed animals are vulnerable.

Researchers attribute the increase in attacks to growth in the number of IoT devices.

According to Forbes Magazine, there will be over 27 billion of these devices by 2025.

When these devices are left unsecured, hackers have a path straight into your home. Once hackers compromise one device they may be able to access other

connected devices on your home network, according to the Oregon FBI. Plus, they may be able to steal your identity using credit card information or passwords through digital assistants or connected computers, phones, and tablets.

Manufacturers of smart devices need to improve their built-in security. But users also need to be as vigilant about smart device security as they are with credit cards, computers and locking the house when you’re away.

Here’s what you can do to protect yourself: Change the default password.

Far too often smart device owners leave their digital door wide open by not immediately changing the password on a new device.

Make your passwords as long as possible and unique for IoT devices. Never use names, address or birthdays, or easy to guess passwords like ‘admin’ or ‘1234.’

Forget the notion that your passwords should be memorable.

While easy for you to remember, these passwords are easy to hack.

Change your passwords regularly. Experts say you should change them once a quarter.

Enable two-step authentication.

The added security layer could be a one-time pin you receive by text. Or, it could be biometric authentication, which relies on a unique thumbprint, eye-scan or user’s unique keystrokes.

Secure your network. Put your fridge and your laptop on different networks. Keep your private information on a separate system from other IoT devices. Get professional help if

this is beyond your technology knowledge or interest.

Safeguard your Internet router.

Set up your router with a unique name and create strong passwords to prevent others from accessing your Wi-Fi. Update all devices regularly.

Turn on automatic updates for software, hardware, and operating systems.

Disable features you may not need. IoT devices come with a variety of services such as remote access, often enabled by default.

If you experience a security breach, immediately take action.

Update passwords, notify credit card companies and file a police report.

Stay safe by being in the know and taking needed precautions.

THE LIGHTER SIDE

Technology: Are you old school or with the times?

Answer these questions There are those of us who have successfully transitioned to everything electronic and progressive - active participants in the world’s

BY MARY exciting LYNN BRUNY technological At Home Colorado advances. Then there are those of us who hang onto our old-school habits, either out of stubbornness, inertia or simply an inability to absorb the incredible influx of new technological changes constantly barraging us.

Not sure which you are?

Consider which answers to these questions best describe you:

What kind of thermostat does your home have?

A smart one I control with an app on my phone.

I couldn’t tell you. It came with the house. But it works just fine.

Who needs an app on your phone when you can use the fingers on your hand and the brain in your head?

When you go grocery shopping, what do you use for a list?

A shopping list app on my phone.

A list scribbled (almost illegibly) on a scrap of paper, perhaps on the back of an envelope or letter from AARP. On it my spouse has written: “NO NOT forget to pick

you supposed to get the immense gratification of crossing off a completed task if it’s on some electronic thing? Matter of fact, I put things on my “To Do” list that I’ve already completed just so I can cross them off. So satisfying!

You have a new dishwasher that keeps obnoxiously beeping after the run cycle until you open the door. What do you do?

Figure out how to program it to stop.

Ask my teenage or adult child to figure it out, which they say they’ll do as soon as they’re done “harvesting their crops” on some video game. This never happens so I just live with it forever. After a while I barely hear it given my advancing tinnitus.

Does technology scare you away or do you embrace it full-force. (Shutterstock)

up your cholesterol medication!”

(To be honest, I’ll probably forget it.)

What type of vehicle do you drive?

A hybrid.

A gas-powered one that has a bunch of controls that I have no idea how to operate or program, or even what some of them do for that matter.

What kind of security system do you have for your home?

A whole-property system with multiple cameras that I control with an app on my phone.

An old dog that occasionally notices strange noises and barks a little but mainly sleeps through everything (unless its own farting

sounds wake it up).

And finally: What version of this newspaper do you prefer reading, electronic or paper?

Your smart phone says it’s due for a software upgrade.

What do you do?

Do it.

Fret about it due to that bad experience the clerk at the grocery store told me about seven years ago. (He lost all his photos!) Ask other people’s opinions, hesitate for weeks, and then finally do it after my children relentlessly make fun of me. (But really: Why all the updates? Can’t they just make things correctly the first time?)

What is the format of your daily “To Do” list?

Electronic.

Paper! One of the few simple joys in my life is my morning newspaper and a cup of Jo. And I plan to enjoy this experience until the day the printing presses stop running, which will be a sad day indeed.

• Don’t ignore ways to help make built-ins shine through the use of materials and finishes such as countertops and handles.

What are the best ways to incorporate built-ins into your home? Many designers believe the best rule of thumb is to “think function first,” making sure you have a clear purpose when looking to bring the beauty of built-ins into your home.

Throw pillows are a quick addition to almost any room and are easy to store or stick in another pillowcase when you are done with them! (Nell Hill’s/TNS)

combination scream USA, these are the months where it is easier than ever to bring out a bit of patriotic prettiness to existing home designs – even for those who don’t share my obsession for decorating with these hues.

From May to July, this combination goes from subtle beauty to symbolic beauty, where red goes from just another spot on the color wheel to symbolizing hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

If you are looking to bring a little bit of RWB into your bedroom, a patterned duvet is the perfect choice. I have been drawn to an oriental print that is trendy and classic in its pomegranate color way with bold red and dreamy navy blue creating a wonderful contrast. A lively print leaves a lot of room for fun with pillows. You have the freedom to build with more patterns and textures or even add in a seasonal decorative pillow to welcome in the holidays.

When bringing RWB onto your tabletop, it can be as easy as throwing a new linen on the table. The fun thing is it doesn’t even have to be a table cloth; we use throw blankets all the time for a fun new texture (and easy cleanup). Of course, colored glass (or plastic if you are worried about breakage) is having a heyday currently and is always a great addition to your table

settings. We mix and match them with classic dot plates for a festive but not overwhelming look. For added flair patriotic accessories make for a great topper or napkin ring.

Patriotic accessories come in all shapes and sizes. From flags and swags that make the exterior of your home pop to candlesticks that enhance your home’s natural beauty. Moving your blue ginger jar over to a red and white area is sometimes all it takes to bring forth a Fourth atmosphere! I am partial to bringing in seasonal throw pillows myself. They are a quick addition to almost any room and are easy to store or stick in another pillowcase when you are done with them. They come in so many different designs there is always one I can find that fits my space perfectly.

With two little ones this year, I can’t wait to see them running around the yard under the fireworks (or hopefully sleeping through them in my newborns case!). This time of year always makes me so happy to be able to celebrate with family and friends under all of the stunning red, white and blue. Until next time – happy decorating!
