Summer Home in the Rockies

Sep 18, 2012 | Rita

The Southern Rocky Mountains.
By: Simon Allardice

The Rockies is a great place for you to travel to. There is a ton of activities that you could do while you are in the Rockies, from going up through dinosaur valleys seeing tons of different fossils and looking at bones and learning about the dinosaurs to doing something as amazing as drive or hike up a huge mountain and look out across the valley with a complete view of the area. Those views can be some of the most amazing in the world, especially if you can see it at all times of the year. In winter you can look out over the valley and see an amazing view with the whole entire valley blanketed in snow.

If you go in the spring you can see the snow melting and the flowers come up through the snow striking beautiful colors against the glinting snow. Summer can be a completely different experience as well, as the valley will be light green and look bright and a little bit drier than the rest of the year. The snow will melt off the tops of the mountains and create beautiful springs that run down the side of the mountain. Fall brings a soft warm glow that makes the whole valley look like it’s on fire.

If you’re looking to get a second house to go out into the Rockies during the summer or really during anytime during the year, it can easily be made a reality with a Colorado FHA Streamline loan that you can get from lending groups from all over the state. This type of Colorado FHA Streamline loan will make your loan a lot easier to handle as it will give you the best rates and save you money in the long run. If you already have your other house paid off you should have an easier time getting the summer one. It’s really up to you if you want to get a summer home, and if you don’t you could probably spend that money to travel all over the world rather than just have that house in Colorado that you can go to.

It can be a pretty great investment, as you can rent it out when you aren’t there as a type of hotel or condo for vacation time and that can make the investment more than just a vacation home as it can become a source of income. It can even help negate some of the interest that you have to pay on the home, which means that you will have an easier time paying off the house.  Once you pay off the home you can even make some money off of it and maybe pay off the house with the renting out.

    We went through the Rockies years and years ago and it was lovely. Being from the MidWest where all is flat we were really impressed by the mountains. I dont think buying a home there is in our future but it sure is nice to visit!

    I went to the Rockies in Colorado ten years ago with my sister. I loved it and wish I could go back.

    Sounds like a beautiful place all year long. I’m sure each season looks equally as beautiful in the Rockies!

    What a breath taking picture, I live in the Hudson valley and I see the mountains a lot but nothing like this!
