Imagine this scenario. You’re stationed in Colorado Springs. You buy a home for your family because you love it here. But now you have ordered and must move. You don’t have time to sell your home, or the real estate market just isn’t right for you to make money right now. A friend mentions you could rent out your home while you’re gone, and even make a little money. Here’s how a military family can rent their home fast.

When you start to think about the whole process of renting, you might just throw up your hands and give up. It can seem too complicated to get to know about renting well enough to be able to set things in motion before you leave. Thankfully, we have some answers!

It’s fall in Colorado Springs. Snow is falling, and temperatures are plummeting. We want to keep those pipes from freezing. If you have a sprinkler system, it’s time to blow it out, so icing over doesn’t burst those pipes.

Can you say expensive? You don’t want to have to pay to fix your sprinkler system or clean up flooding from burst pipes. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

With All County, the residents must have their sprinkler system winterized by a professional service before November 1st. Do this now! Vendors get booked quickly.

The Key to Choosing the Right Property Manager
