What’s it Like to Live in Colorado

"Kenda (00:05)
Well, everyone's talking about moving to Denver, but what is it like to really live here?

Welcome to Getting Real Estate with John and Kenda.

John Wilkinson (00:13)
Yeah, super great to be here. We're both relatively new to Colorado. And, you know, before we moved here, I wish there was something like as a forum where I could understand more about, you know, living in Colorado. Obviously there's the mountains and everything that we've seen. But, you know, I think that this podcast really is all about the real life experiences that we all have here in Colorado that we've experienced anyway in the last year or so that we've lived here.

Everything from lifestyle to cost of living to fun little vacation towns or getaway towns, restaurants, everything and everything in between. So really excited to dive into this week's podcast to help everybody find out a little bit more about Denver before you actually move.

Kenda (00:59)
Yeah, I think this week we're gonna talk about some of the the day to day real life

Crazy things that happen in Denver. And last week our episode was about the cost of living in Denver, and this week it's about the actual what it's really like. And I think it's very appropriate because right now it's May the 6th, and we have like 10 inches of snow on the ground. And it didn't snow all winter, but today, May the 6th, like this is Denver, right? It's it was 70 degrees over the weekend, so beautiful, and then it snu rained yesterday and

John Wilkinson (01:28)
Yeah.

Kenda (01:34)
Snowed and it's it's there are a lot of things about living in Denver you may not know if you if you haven't lived here before.

John Wilkinson (01:37)
it.

I know it's funny, you know, we put all the we put posts on social media and friends from back home in Austin are like, Oh, heck no. We don't want snow in May. You know, and they used to tell me, you know, you can't really plant anything until after Mother's Day. And this year, you know, having such a winter that we did, you know, I know a lot of people went out to the garden centers to get all of their veggies and whatever.

Kenda (01:52)
Ha ha ha.

John Wilkinson (02:10)
plants, flowers, you know, for the summer. And sadly, they may not survive, you know, with this, you know, storm that we had, which goes to show like Mother's Day is kind of like that, you know, like that pivot point, right, between planting or not planting. And I'm glad I waited.

Kenda (02:29)
I know and

it was at Costco the other day and they had these big beautiful plants and people were just like putting them in their carts. Everyone was so excited. They're in their t-shirts and it's like this is great. And now yeah, they're all dead. I actually bought a tomato plant, but I just had it sitting on my deck, so I brought that back in the house yesterday, and so it's surviving thus far, but but it's kind of crazy, and this is this is a perfect segue to what it is actually.

John Wilkinson (02:51)
Yeah.

Kenda (02:57)
like to live here day to day in May. you think it's should be summer or spring and it's snowing.

John Wilkinson (03:01)
Yeah.

It's snowing. I know it's crazy. Well, hopefully, you know, and like in Denver, it snows and then then this afternoon or by tomorrow it'll all be gone, which is kind of the joys of being here, right? 300 days of sunshine and you get these, you know, moments of coldness, which kind of brings that brisk to the air and kind of refreshes your spirit. I think it's kind of the fun. One of the fun things that there is about living here. so last week.

Kenda (03:32)
I agree.

John Wilkinson (03:33)
Yeah, totally. So last week we discussed, like you mentioned, the cost of living in Denver. And it was interesting because one of our subscribers, listeners actually made a comment about one of the big expenses.

Kenda (03:47)
Yeah, I I think that we should address that. That's thank you for bringing that up. we had a listener who was a little unsettled by our conversation that we had about the cost of insurance and even the inability to get insurance in certain areas because Colorado is considered a dual catastrophe state. We have the high risk of hail and of wildfires. And wildfire season actually began in in May.

So it was a little scary for this person who's considering moving here. Like, am I going to be able to get insurance? And and I think we need to make sure that people understand that you and I, even though we haven't talked about it a lot, we are both real estate agents here and we know the area. And if you have a good agent and you're working with somebody that's helping you relocate, that can tell you what areas are at high.

John Wilkinson (04:27)
to make sure that.

Kenda (04:47)
higher risk than others, we can direct you away from purchasing a home in an area that you can't get insurance or your insurance premiums are outrageous.

John Wilkinson (05:00)
Yeah,

totally. You know, I think that's one of the benefits of working with a good agent, especially here is one, knowing those fire risk areas, which I think is the easiest to predict in terms of insurance rates here, because there are definitely areas, obviously the foothills, Evergreen, Morrison, know, all in that economy for grant, all of those areas that

are really at higher risk because of just the vegetation that exists. In Denver proper, in a lot of the suburbs, it's not really a concern. It's really when you get into kind of like the foothills around the area. Now, hail is tough. I mean, it's gonna hail anywhere, everywhere at any point, right? If there's a storm. that is a little bit obviously more difficult to predict. And we can also look at insurance history for different areas to help guide

some of the buyers into areas or at least making them aware, have that disclosure, right? That there's potential here. And so here's some things you can do to mitigate, like cutting down some of the forestation just to make it a little bit more difficult for buyers to really catch on.

Kenda (06:13)
Yeah, I I live out in the Littleton area and you know we have the mountains behind us and sometimes the wind whips down so strongly that I think that's part of the fire risk issue because a few years ago, I think it was twenty twenty one, we had

the fire that

took out so many homes, I think over a thousand homes, and some of them were like fifteen miles or twenty miles apart, these areas that caught on fire. And it was because the the f fire would get in the atmosphere and then the wind would carry it to this distant area and and catch the

John Wilkinson (06:45)
Wow.

Kenda (06:58)
the dry vegetation on fire. So it is something that you need to be aware of. You need to have a plan. I have a little book that's a fireproof

John Wilkinson (06:58)
Smart.

Kenda (07:09)
like it looks like a briefcase and I have my passports and my deed and my time everything's in that so if something were to happen you just grab it and go. so I think there are things like that that you can

do to be prepared. But we did want to come back on and let you know that you know this podcast isn't about selling you property but it is we are real estate agents so we do know ways to help help you avoid

John Wilkinson (07:34)
Yeah.

Kenda (07:38)
Those problematic areas, and or at least, like you said, John, at least be aware of what your risk is.

John Wilkinson (07:45)
Right. Right, because

sometimes those views are just incredible when you get, especially in the foothills, right? I mean, we have my sister-in-law, they have a place up in Morrison and it's just like you're in a tree house. It's so beautiful and quiet, you know, and full of wildlife and you really can't.

It's just a different experience and really just 30 minutes from downtown Denver, which is really impressive. I mean, you can get kind of that city life, go to the theater, whatever, and then go back home and you're kind of in your secluded, like, you know, mountain retreat, which is so nice. I know, I know. Yeah.

Kenda (08:25)
Yeah, that's that's heavenly. You know, I

I just came from Cabo. I was there for seven years and every pretty much every day in Cabo.

It's exactly the same. It's, you know, you put on your t your tank top and your shorts and your flip-flops and you go because it's bright blue, it's sunny,

it's this kind of the same temperature. It's like every day is groundhog day with

John Wilkinson (08:49)
Yeah.

Kenda (08:49)
relation to the the climate. And

I'm gonna sound a little snobby here, but it was kind of boring. Like I needed, I needed some variety. I wanted to wake up and look and like, should I put on a sweater? Should I put on, you know, I I needed some variety. And that's one of the things about the weather and the climate here in Colorado is boy, you better check. You better check with Alexa to see what the weather is before you head out for the day because it's not gonna be the same as it was yesterday.

John Wilkinson (09:24)
Yeah, you know, that's funny you mentioned Alexa. That's one of the they have a morning routine. I guess you can say, you know, good morning or whatever and it tells you what the weather is. One of them is what the weather is going to be today, you know, you know in Denver and that is something that I use all the time because you just don't know what to expect. You know, obviously the weather before the weather newscast before can the day before can tell you but still it's not 100 % accurate, which is not anywhere but the weather here changes.

pretty quickly.

Kenda (09:56)
Very quickly, very quickly from i throughout the day. You can wake up and I think layers. That's what everybody told me when I moved here. Layers, layers, layers, layers, layers. So you have, you know, you have all these different layers. So as the day progresses and the temperature changes, you just start shedding layers. And somebody also told me to carry in my car a a coat.

John Wilkinson (10:16)
Yeah, yeah.

Kenda (10:22)
even if it's you know 70 degrees, have a coat in the back of your car. And I got one of those little puffy jackets that's in a a bag. And I just have that in the back of my car just in case I'm out somewhere and the temperature drops 35 degrees, you know. And it will.

John Wilkinson (10:30)
sure.

And it will, you know, that's

yeah. And that's what I love about, you know, Colorado is in the evenings, you know, when the sun goes behind the mountains, especially for the front range, it does. The temperature does drop and it's so nice and so pleasant in the summer. You know, having coming from Austin where it, you know, in the evening it can still be, you know, 85 degrees and so humid and also not to mention bugs. Denver doesn't really have a lot of mosquitoes or if any.

You know, the bugs are way less than what I found in Austin. And having been home recently, you know, it's so pleasant outside, and you sit outside, and all of these mosquitoes are buzzing around your head. You know, you've to go back inside. But yeah, the layers, it's a great point.

Kenda (11:20)
Get out of my ear.

When we first moved here and we were we were building, one of the things that a couple of people told us was to buy a south facing

House, and we didn't really think that would be that big of a deal, but our driveway is south facing, so we did like take that advice. We'd never, you know, we're from Georgia, Cabo, Florida. We didn't know, so we did purchase our home with a south-facing driveway. John, I have to tell you, like, when it does snow.

John Wilkinson (11:47)
Yeah.

Kenda (11:59)
Like my backyard will stay maybe for two days with snow, but but within a few hours, the front yard, which is the south facing, the snow is gone. We never have to shovel our driveway or

John Wilkinson (12:09)
Yeah.

Kenda (12:12)
the sidewalk because it just melts so quickly. But our neighbors behind us that are north facing, their snow can stay for days and days, and they always have to shovel their.

John Wilkinson (12:18)
Yep.

Kenda (12:24)
their driveways and their sidewalks. So that was probably some of the best advice that I got when we moved here to buy a house that has a south facing garage. Have you heard anything about that?

John Wilkinson (12:26)
Yeah.

Yeah, no, that's a great point. Yeah,

no, totally. Yep. That and ours does the same in the front. You know, it is it melts really quickly. And also the other thing is not only just the snow, but when it will start to melt for those north facing homes, but it also freezes again and becomes ice. And so it's very slippery. You know, and while the snow may still be there, you also have to worry about the ice, whereas the other homes, typically you don't have to worry about that as much.

So, you know, just kind of little things and tips and tricks to think about as people are searching for homes for sure.

Kenda (13:10)
Yeah.

And it is a it is a big adjustment if you come from a a different a different state.

I also think that another really high point for Colorado is the lifestyle.

it's it's a different kind of lifestyle than we had in Georgia for sure. How does it relate to the lifestyle that you had in Austin?

John Wilkinson (13:34)
Yeah, that's great question. you know, Austin in general is also kind of an outdoorsy city. Now, I say that with the caveat that, you know, like there's there's Town Lake, which is downtown Austin, and people, lots of people run around it, hike around it, ride their bikes around it. You know, there's a lot of biking in Austin in general because of the hills. But you have to kind of either drive there to be able to access it.

or live close enough by, whether you live in downtown or in a neighborhood close by. So, you know, moving here, we, we had been coming to Colorado for 12 years and we love to ski, love to hike. So we knew that there was going to be those opportunities. And some people may be moving here because of job relocation, maybe just change of life, maybe, you know, coming, you moving closer to kids and grandchildren. You know, there's a lot of different reasons.

people moved to Colorado. one of the things that saved or made the transition a little bit easier for us and when we arrived in the summertime was just the plethora of things that are to do outside. Right? You've got City Park that has jazz in the park almost every week during the summer. And you go out there. It's amazing. People bring their I mean, literally, it's almost like tailgating. They've got, you know, barbecue grills or, you know, or they bring

picnic baskets, there's food trucks out there, you know, there's, live music that's getting played next to the lake and city park. It's just so beautiful. And again, no mosquitoes. You're right next to the zoos, you're hearing the elephants, you know, trumpet and it's just, it's just a really magical experience. Then we had a lot of friends that introduced us to various hiking trails around Colorado, which were challenging because of the altitude difference, but

also so beautiful to be in the trees, you know, and seeing just a different landscape. And then you happen upon, you know, ponds or alpine lakes that are around and they're just so tranquil. And you just stop and you want to take pictures from every angle. And it's almost like you have a thousand images of the same thing from different angles. But it's just, it's just really magical. Obviously people, you know, they'll call her out for skiing, which is great. Breckenridge is so close. So is Loveland, which is even closer.

You know, those are things that that I think have been really great. I think in general people just have this mindset of either Not necessarily for fitness just to be active, right? It's kind of a culture where people are like out walking running biking rollerblading skateboarding, know, just being around friends and That's definitely kind of the vibe that that we got when we were here,

which made it really The transition easier

John Wilkinson (16:26)
Like I like I said, it's it's not just about fitness, it's just about having an active lifestyle, which is great. And although I know a lot of people you're not outdoorsy, but that whole, you know, kind of work life balance, you know, comes in many different shapes and sizes. what do you think about having Colorado as like this, you know, active you

outdoorsy place. Do think you have to be kind of in that mindset to have that work life balance here?

Kenda (16:53)
you know, John, I don't know if you know this about me, but I am not outdoorsy. I I I like if I'm gonna go somewhere and spend four hours, it's gonna be the mall. But but you know what? Living here, it makes me want to be outdoorsy.

I can't tell you the joy that it brings me driving to the mall and seeing people on their bikes or out walking with their dog

I'm so surprised by the work-life balance here because you often see people on their lunch breaks going out for bike rides or going out for a walk or going out to throw a frisbee

people live.

And then they also work, but they they try to live and really enjoy the outdoors. And it makes me want to maybe think about seeing if I can remember how to ride a bike from when I was, you know, I don't know, 10 the last time I rode a bike. Like maybe I could maybe I could ride a bike or makes me want to get a dog and take my dog for a walk. You know, I have a cat.

John Wilkinson (17:42)
I'll see if I can remember how much I from when I was, you know, and what I'm talking about. Sure.

Kenda (17:59)
And we did buy this little stroller that you put your cat in, which

is ridiculous. And when Greg, it's ridiculous, it's so funny. And when Greg, I like we'll go for a walk and Greg refuses to push the little stroller with the cat in it. My that's my husband. He refuses. And so sometimes I kind of fake like getting a phone call. I'm like, hey, can you push this real quick? I need to take this phone call. You know, I'm a busy realtor. I need to take this phone call.

John Wilkinson (18:05)
But so cute. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Kenda (18:26)
Also he has to push the stroller with the cat in it 'cause he's so

embarrassed by that. But but nobody would nobody even looks twice at us, you know, pushing our cat in the stroller like everybody does here. Cats and dogs.

John Wilkinson (18:38)
Yeah.

No, totally. I mean I absolutely I mean we went, you know, during during gay pride last year in in Denver, you know, we went down and we saw so many interesting things. but but cat strollers is one of them. Some were on harnesses, you know, like walking the cat, you know, through through pride and you know, kids playing with Yeah, it's a thing, for sure. Yeah, it is a thing. That's awesome. So what do you

Kenda (19:02)
It's a thing.

Yeah. Did you have trouble making friends here? 'cause I find it's a little

it's a little different because everybody's busy but they're not busy working. They're busy like I'm going to the mountains this weekend or I'm going hiking or I'm going here. And so it you have to I as an adult I think make a little bit more of an effort. Well, how have you found that?

John Wilkinson (19:26)
You know what, that's a great that's really a great point. I think we had to be very intentional to try to meet people and just say yes. Right. One of the one of the things when you move, there's so many things going on. You've got to, you know, just kind of get it yourself established, plant your roots, you know, get things done at a at a at your house that you probably just purchased. there's a lot of moving parts, but what we found is our neighbors

w there's in Denver in the surrounding areas, a lot of people like to do things outdoors, whether that's you know, you know, backyard grilling or just get togethers. and we had invitations from neighbors to to come over and and meet others. and we just said yes. And every time that we got an invitation, we didn't say, we've got to go, you know, to Costco or we have, you know, something to do for with for whatever, right? We just said yes and went and

met some really fun people that live around us. And I think that when you are in a community or in a neighborhood, having that social kind of connection really helps meet other people, right? They like they'll bring their friends over. And that's helped kind of us with meeting new folks, but we were really intentional about it. As a matter of fact, we went buying furniture for a house and a guy that helped us

was just super friendly and we found out that he was from San Antonio originally, which is close to Austin. I have family in San Antonio. And so he had given us our number in case or his number, sorry, in case he had or we had any questions. And I just reached out to him and I said, hey, we're new to town. You know, maybe this is weird, but like would you like to go have dinner or something sometime? Because you know we're trying to meet new folks and we've met five or six friends from that one connection.

But again, it was just intentional reaching out to this guy from a furniture store at Arhaus Actually, I'll give him a shout-out. great Justin at Arhaus in in Cherry Creek is a great friend of ours now, but and great furniture. So, you know, that's that's just kind of how it is. But I think you're right. One of the things we did notice is a lot of the friends we met when we tried to do stuff with them later, they were going to the mountains or they had things to do because there's all this planning. People love to go to the mountains.

during the summer on the weekends because it's so beautiful and getting away from kind of the heat of Denver, which, you know, can get hot, ninety degrees, hundred degrees sometimes. and the the sun's pretty intense. so they you know, it's kind of like the the quick getaway to, you know, seventy degree weather, which who doesn't want that?

Kenda (22:08)
so going to the mountains in the summer, what is that like? I I know Greg has heard rumors that people take their bikes up there to Vale and whatever and they ride their bikes down the ski slopes, which there's no snow, it's just a a slope. What do you know about the summer in the in the in the ski towns?

John Wilkinson (22:25)
Well.

Yes, mountain biking is definitely, I mean, talk about the the epitome of mountain biking, you know, is in Colorado because they have, you know, the gondolas or ski lifts have you know, ways to bring your mountain bikes up. And there are trails, just like ski trails, that that mountain bikers can use to to ride. And it really is amazing. I mean, you can be hiking and there's on on certain trails where mountain bikers are also allowed and they'll be either going up or down.

That's not anything I'm ever going to be doing because I don't think I have the stamina to be able to do that, but it is really cool to see them. And they're in they're in

their epitome of joy for them. you know, there's a there's a pass called Guanella Pass that is really stunning to to drive. It's a switchback, you know, that goes past many alpine lakes. you can stop and fish in those lakes.

And then you come down and we we did this last summer and we actually rented a cabin at this place called Lost Fork Base Camp and it's in Grant, Colorado, and it's on a stream that's a mountain stream that's so beautiful. and they have like you know, cornhole, a lot of you know, community community barbecue grills, and so you can meet folks. We had a great time, it stormed.

rain and so we cooked underneath our the the awning that we had in front of the the cabin. but you know it's just those kinds of things when you get away for the weekend that are easy and really just an hour outside of Denver and you can just get into this entire outdoors place. And I think even people that live here in Denver, I know I've met many folks that that don't go to the mountains anymore or you know they don't ski anymore. And I think

It's it's like I think we mentioned in another episode what like in San Antonio, people wanted to go to the Alamo all the time that they they visited us, but we never went when we lived there because it was just we were over it, you know, or in Hawaii and you walk, you drive by these beaches all the time. It's the same thing here in Denver. I think there's a there's a chance to reconnect with all the beautiful things the state has. And whether you're moving here or live here, I think seeing it from somebody else's perspective kind of shines light on.

You know, what we have at our back, you know, at really in our backyard.

Kenda (24:50)
Is so true.

you bring up such a great point that like I live in the suburbs but it's very easy for me to get downtown to go to the theater and to go to these restaurants and the the Rhino Street Fair and all of these different things. And then also if you live in the city it's very easy for you to take a trip up to the mountains or and and it's a completely different feel. Like your your I think you said your sister in law or your sister, their house is you know 40 minutes outside of Denver but it's

John Wilkinson (25:01)
For sure.

Kenda (25:20)
A completely different feel, and I think that's one of the best parts of Denver because you can experience so many different types of microcultures in all of these different areas.

you're a city guy, where what do you find about city living in Denver?

John Wilkinson (25:39)
Yeah, you know, it's it's we find it to be really a gift. In Austin, we lived in the suburbs and it was it was great because of the house that we were able to get and just our our friend our family was close by, our friends were close by. You but in Austin was growing. And so when we actually bought the house, so we're as there wasn't as much downtown as there was, you know, at you know, say five years after we bought our house. And so I think

Now it's just the access, right? I feel like we live in you know a bubble within a bubble. And so we have, you know, we can walk to you know bakeries and bars and restaurants, we can walk to the movie theater, different you know entertainment places that we can go to. And we just didn't have that, you know, in Austin. We don't have we had to drive, you know, kind of everywhere. So I think that's kind of a gift. And we also have lot of friends that live, you know, within 10 blocks.

of of where we are and that also is nice, whether it's a walk or a quick drive to get somewhere.

Now it's not LA, you know, it's it's not Dallas, it's not, you know, New York and Denver, but they

It does have a really great theater scene. beautiful theater Buell Theater downtown. there the Museum of Art is spectacular. You know, there's a lot of really great things that we can we can go to pretty quickly. while those are a little bit further, we could technically still walk there. We tend to drive, but it's still close to the house. And I think that, you know, is great. And then on top of everything else, it's just access to the parks. We walk our dog around City Park all the time and and

You know, that's also very close to Park Hill. and and I mean I've not seen that yet. Yeah. Yeah. I'm waiting for you to show up with your cat stroller. Yeah. So I haven't seen I haven't seen that yet. But who knows? I mean, I'm sure it's it's out there. But you know, it's great because like when we walk, you know, it's like, there's an elephant at the zoo, you know, you're walking by and you see kind of that stuff. And that's and that's I don't know, that's really that's I think just super fun. What about like

Kenda (27:21)
But do you walk your cat? Do you do you make Billy walk your cat? I'm gonna get you a stroller, so you have

Yeah. That's a

John Wilkinson (27:47)
What about out, you know, in in Sterling? What do you what do you kind of see as a lifestyle?

Kenda (27:52)
You know, I think that it's completely different because you really can't walk anywhere. You can walk in your in your little little neighborhood, but to go to the groceries, to go to a restaurant, we we do have to drive a little bit more.

but it's not ever far. We have so many stores within you know three miles of us. it's it's definitely country living. Like I can look out my window and I can see horses on the you know on the plane walking and look at the mountains and it's more open.

But it does take a little bit more planning to get to the city or to get to get to a grocery store. of course we get Amazon out here. It's not like I'm in the boonies, but but it it's just a completely different feel. And my experience in the city is it's not as hustle bustle as Atlanta was. And you you feel that same way about Austin, right? Yeah.

John Wilkinson (28:37)
Yeah. Horse and buggy.

I agree.

So yeah, totally. Yep. It's it is definitely while there's still all this stuff, you know, accessible, it's not as hustle bustle. Also there's a different sense of of community and acceptance. just people are just living their life and know that there are others doing the same thing. I think that's just really one of the great things of many, you know, about living, you know, in this area of of the country.

Kenda (29:22)
How do you find the transportation infrastructure? Like, like we don't really have a subway. you know, have you ever been on one of the buses or the trains? Like, how what's that like?

John Wilkinson (29:35)
You know, I have not, but one of my best friends, I think you know Joel Baldazo, he's a designer and and is actually moving to Denver July fifteenth. But he took the train, the light rail from from the airport to our house I I guess a couple of weeks ago and he said it was a you know it took from from the airport to the station was about twenty five, thirty minutes, and then he took a bus

to from there to our like within blocks of our house. And so from the airport to our house using that transportation was a between forty five minutes to an hour, which is not bad. And it cost him seven dollars, right? Versus getting a new

Kenda (30:21)
That's unbelievable. But I I

can't I'm still trying to picture Joel on a bus. I don't know. I'm still trying to wrap my head around because I know Joel. Okay.

John Wilkinson (30:26)
I know. I know, I know. But he said it was he said it was great. And and you know, he

he spent a lot of time up in Boston, which obviously has great public transportation, but he thought it was just so great that he could go from the train station to our house without having to get a taxi or an Uber or Lyft or whatever for seven dollars. Yeah, that's nothing. And you don't have to you just sit there, you can work, you can, you know, surf Instagram or whatever.

and not have to pay attention to anything, which, you know, he really he really enjoyed. But anyway, I think that the infrastructure here is is better definitely than Austin, for sure.

Kenda (31:08)
Well, I think that's kind of a wrap.

obviously, we love living here. We're very happy here. and we would love your feedback. We would love to know if there's a specific question. We we have so many ideas of things to talk about as we explore this new city that we both moved to and we kind of learn the special things and the things to avoid. So we would love to hear your feedback as well if you have any questions.

John Wilkinson (31:17)
Yeah.

Absolutely. No, it's it's great. I love, like you said, love living here and I love exploring kind of the different things. And as we move forward, I think it's going to be even even more fun as we continue to like introduce some of our friends to the audience, business owners, homeowners, historians, people have been in Denver for a long time. I think it's going to be really a wealth of information. And next week,

I think it's going to be great. I know we're talking about, you know, specific neighborhoods in and around Denver. I think we're also going to be mentioning some really great places in Cabo from an investment standpoint. I know you have a lot of information about living in Mexico and what that looks like. And I hope that we'll be on location from a really great place here in Denver that kind of has the Cabo vibe to kind of give us that theme.
