has has been successfully investing in real
estate and creating investment partnerships

Basics of Managing Your
Rental Property
Keep Trouble & Vacancies Down,
Prosperity & Investment
Rental property can be a great investment
and source of income, but it’s important
to know what you are doing both legally
and practically before putting an ad on
Craig’s List. Learn how to prepare your
property for renting, how to recruit good
tenants and keep the bad ones out, and the
most important considerations for leases.
We’ll cover lots of dos and don’ts with
regard to prospective and current tenants
including new Colorado laws, fair housing
regulations, and dealing with eviction
procedure and documents. Discuss how
to find responsive service people and how
to keep your property rented when others
have vacancies. Finally, consider whether
professional management might be right
for your situation. Receive the latest and
best resources for managing your property,
including a copy of a lease used in over
800 housing unit rentals and the current
Colorado tenant/landlord laws.

Demand Letter Basics
Write Like an Attorney & Be Heard
If you’ve been wronged by a company,
employer, or individual, you don’t always
need an attorney to get the remedy you
deserve. Learn to write a “demand letter,”
a document used by attorneys that lays
out your complaint in a clear and concise
way that implicitly requires a response
from the recipient. The letter format is
not hard to learn, but can be extremely
effective. And in the event that you do not
get the response you hope for, you’ll likely
save hundreds of dollars in legal fees by
having the information already organized to
present to a lawyer. With over 32 years of
experience as a trial attorney and national
lecturer,
Gregory Cairns
, Esq. has refined
the process of writing effective demand
letters. Mr. Cairns specializes in Colorado
workers’ compensation cases and is the
founder and principal instructor for the
Center for Workers’ Compensation Training.
He is a witty, dynamic speaker who makes
a potentially “dry” subject accessible and
understandable for all.
