Denver’s Christian tradition is not to be overlooked. Whether you are in Capitol Hill, Highland, Washington Park, Lowry churches are a main stay in the cityscape. Establishments such as the Colorado Christian University are a monument to the city’s commitment to brotherly love. In the wake of the fact that In 2005, Denver was the first city in the U.S. to make the private home use of less than an ounce of (ganja) marijuana legal for adults 21 and older children and young adults must be counseled and assisted in their daily struggles. One major association taking up the mantle is the New City Church Denver. Their mantra is “New City Church is a new church in Denver that pursues the truths of Scripture, builds friendships and community in our city, and serves the needs of those living in the metro Denver area.”

The church and community are closely intertwined. So much so that the church plays a major role in helping the needy in the community. It also focuses on serving those in need in the city with volunteering at local food banks and charities and service projects. The truth of the matter is not many people focus in on helping the needy in today’s world. The major reason is that the economic crisis has put a serious damper on every one including the city of Denver. This is why it is so impressive to see New City Church Denver meeting in a old movie theater, concentrating on spending their tithes and donations on uplifting the mentally, emotionally and financially depressed rather than the construction of another major monument or building.

The New City Church Denver has proven to me that they are very relevant in our time and are a credit to the prevailing goodness of humanity and the want to assist our fellow man. Kudos to the members of this church.

For the lack of the ability to manage an investment property many owners turn into the classic “don’t wanters” which tend to create opportunities for those waiting to try their hand at investing. Any person investing in a real estate property which has problems, whether these problems are with the physical condition of the building or whether they are financial, MUST have the ability to readily cure these deficiencies or these same conditions are going to be continued and will then pull down the new owner/investor as well. This is why rental insurance is so fundamental.

Those who are usually first time investors will often turn down what otherwise might be good buys because they feel that the building is not a money maker for the present owner therefore they don’t want to be saddled with it under the assumption that it would be a bad deal for them too. This, and to have to work with a building with physical deficiencies would be considered a bit much. This type of reasoning only suggests that they do not know what good management is or should be. This is typically why most investors seek mandatory homeowners insurance, to ensure that if anything happens to the property that their investment is covered.

They are correct if, in purchasing the building, they are going to continue the identical management methods being used by the present owner. Without a change of management procedures no one should tackle a poorly managed property. If you do possess good management and analytical skills and are willing to employ them in the pursuit of good investment properties then many opportunities will open up to you. What are problems for the present owner can and will become YOUR opportunity as you correctly judge where the actual problems lie and will have worked out, in advance of the purchase, the changes necessary. Always remember however to get a home insurance quotation and factor this in your short and long term costs.
