I don't buy bottled water. I have waterpros dot net at 11 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.119 my kitchen seeing fourteen hundred bucks for reverse osmosis. They also have lower priced 12 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.159 and higher price options available depending on what you want to do. But this 13 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.959 is reverse osmosis the best you can buy. Three oh three eight six two 14 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.879 five five five four. All right, I'm going to go to the phones. 15 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.000 Then we're gonna talk a little solar and one thing I want to talk 16 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.280 about a lot of people have said Tom, What the hell are you talking 17 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:23.959 about when you talk about commercial solar systems making you money? Yeah, you 18 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.799 know there's there. There are certain customers that have the ability to overbuild on 19 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.560 purpose and can sell back to the grid. Is it worth it? We'll 20 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.920 talk about it with red Rocks rs redrocksroofinsolar dot com. And then we're going 21 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.840 to talk about the rankings, the rankings for the best solar cities and the 22 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:57.599 source is called roof Gnome. There are roofing agency and they did some rankings 23 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:07.239 around the country based on solar you know, solar exposure and if it's cost 24 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.120 all of that. We'll see if that's accurate according to Brook. But right 25 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.719 now I'm going to go to the phones and we have Mallorie. Mallorie, 26 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.240 what's going on with you? Mallorie? Well, I got an issue with 27 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:27.800 public stores here in Aurora now. And do you have a month to month 28 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.960 yes? Okay? And how many units do you have one? Now, 29 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.439 let's talk about your issue. You have a storage unit with public storage that 30 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.520 you've had for a year. What's going on? Well? How my storage? 31 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.479 The first time my stories you got broken too, was in November, 32 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.879 so took care of that now, what do you mean you took care of 33 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.840 it? Well, they took care of that. How did they take care 34 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.439 of it? They pay me for what was told out of my stories? 35 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.199 You whoa, whoa, whoa? Really you know? What do you know? 36 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.680 How unusual? That is? What I need to know is why did 37 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.039 they pay you back then? Because normally what they say is we're not responsible 38 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.680 for crime, you have to have your own locks, blah blah blah blah 39 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.520 blah. So what I just want to know, roughly, how why did 40 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.360 they you know, why did they cover it back then? Because the guys 41 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.280 said that their insurance company covered in public stores didn't cover it, or it 42 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:40.479 is assurance company. Wait, wait, who who covered it? That covers 43 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:50.439 public storage? Okay, their insurance company covered you. Yes, they must 44 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.120 have. And by the way, if I asked you to repeat it, 45 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.080 it's because you broke up a little letter. But if they, if their 46 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.159 insurance company covered it, they must have felt public storage was in the wrong. 47 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:10.199 Yes, yes, and it'd be. What it was is the day 48 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.919 that my unit got broken into, it was seven other units the same date 49 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.519 got broken into. Okay, so now I went on. Okay, so 50 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:24.360 let's let's move on from there, they paid for stuff right now. The 51 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.879 second time I okay, come January of this year, I didn't. The 52 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.279 last time I always aid my stores was in January. I didn't have the 53 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:39.360 money for February because I was saying going through some things. March come and 54 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.720 when I get the money to pay for February and March, I go and 55 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.279 pay and bring my okay piece date. Okay, So you missed you missed 56 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.600 January, I mean February and March payment. Yes, but when did you 57 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.199 go to pay job Jebruary? I went March eleven and paid February and March. 58 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.319 You did do that on March eleventh? Yes? Did they accept your 59 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.040 payment on March eleventh? Yes? And did you pay late charges? Paid 60 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.519 all of that? Okay? Then what happened? So I go up to 61 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.399 my unit to go in it, and there's another lock on my unit, 62 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.800 which is their lockout locks because my unit had went into auction status, so 63 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.720 they put another lock on it so that I couldn't get into it. I 64 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.199 get it. Yeah, went back to the office and the district manager that 65 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.759 was there at the time, he came and took their lock off. So 66 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.560 when I opened up my unit while he was standing right there. I can 67 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.000 immediately notice that there's things missing out of my unit already, because I had 68 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.120 a bike in there. I had a tope right next to my bike that 69 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.639 had brand new shoes in it. I can immediately see that's gone. So 70 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.360 ill him, somebody's been in my unit. He tells me that's impossible because 71 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.680 the the luck is still on it. I tell him, no, that's 72 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.319 not impossible, because how is it. I haven't been here since January. 73 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.000 My stuff was in here in January. I'm going to tell you what happened, 74 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.639 in my opinion. In my opinion, I don't know if this happened, 75 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.879 but it sounds like when you missed your payments and they went to lock 76 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.639 you out, they probably wanted to get an idea of what was in there, 77 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.519 and somebody may have taken something. Yes, the employee did. Now, 78 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.079 how do you know that? You said that emphatically? How do you 79 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.519 know that? Does an employee need that work there? He was telling the 80 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.000 district manager that morning before I even came before me. How do you know 81 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.959 that? How do you know that? I because he told me. He 82 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.000 so, who told you? Who told me? Quentin? Okay? Is 83 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.879 Quentin the employee that told you that. Yes, he points when you showed 84 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:08.279 up to pay February and March, Quinton said to you, by the way, 85 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.360 Mallory, somebody has taken some stuff out of there. No, he 86 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.439 didn't know until me and the district manager came back into office, and I 87 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.160 was telling the district manager, look, this is an excite job, got 88 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:27.120 it, And Quinton said, what as you're correct? It is? Now 89 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.079 did Quinton say that in front of the district manager. Yes? Yes, 90 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:38.360 And what how did Quinton know? Because it's the managers all have certain codes 91 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:44.759 and looking at the records of entry, it's all the manager's coast after hours, 92 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.519 so no one can access the unit after nine o'clock but managers. Yeah, 93 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.240 he looked up. He's looking to codes up and he's seeing that he's 94 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:05.199 more manager's cost than customer. Now did the district manager. Did the district 95 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.759 manager listen to Quentin? Oh, he listened enough to fire him. Wait 96 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:20.360 he fired Quinton? Yes, yes, he fired him. Okay, it 97 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.800 sounds to me like, did you get Quentin's contact information? Yes? I 98 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.200 do. I have these information phone number and name. Okay, so what 99 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.080 happened after that? Now? Wait a minute, when you were there. 100 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.720 Did he get fired right when you were there? He got fired right before 101 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.360 the glad to make a police report. Now was this all the same day? 102 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.320 Yes, all the same day? So you called the police. And 103 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.519 when the police came, were you there? Yes? I have stood there 104 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.679 and wait for them to get there. Got it? And when was Quinton 105 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:07.919 exactly fired? I would say not even ten to fifteen minutes after I was 106 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.879 explaining to the district manager this is an inside job. Okay. Did the 107 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.159 district manager here Quinton talk about this? Yes, so he was pissed. 108 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.759 The district manager was pissed that Quentin told you that. Yeah, I would 109 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.080 be pissed too, unless Quinton really knew it. Now, Quentin was surmising 110 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.120 it based on access logs, But did Quinton really know it? There's no 111 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.960 video of it. The only guy, Camel's on the outside got it. 112 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:48.799 Got it? And Quentin's theory is that some of the employees or managers got 113 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.440 access to your unit that morning, some time between February and March eleventh. 114 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.399 Okay, but here's what I want to ask, Mallory. What do you 115 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.200 mean they had access to the yard or to your unit, to the whole 116 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.519 storage unit. Once you punch your code in at the gate, you can 117 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.519 go in and okays a soap, But hold on, here's what I need 118 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.080 to know. I'm trying to make a logical leap here or connection. Just 119 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.279 because people had access. How do you know they went to your unit and 120 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.159 took your bicycle and stuff. I didn't go take it. Well, I 121 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.720 understand that, but a bunch of people had access. Why do you feel 122 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.080 it was that? I mean, seriously, the way you think you can 123 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.679 prove it was an inside job is that some of the employees had access to 124 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.639 the yard because of the way my luck was on my unit. If the 125 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.600 first time my unit got broken into in November, they kicked my unit in 126 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.639 this time when I went to my unit, like I said, my luck 127 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.360 was still on there, no damage to it in the door, and their 128 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.799 luck was on there. So there's there has to be a master lock to 129 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.240 call him locks up there in order for them to open my unit up. 130 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.399 This is all called logical and circumstantial, but I'm not sure it's going to 131 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.559 be enough. In other words, let's just say you sume in small claims 132 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.080 court for what you're missing. Let's just say it. Now, what is 133 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.559 your proof that a guy named Quinton who worked there, saw the logs and 134 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.159 some of the employees had access to the storage units. Big deal. That 135 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.000 doesn't mean they went into yours. I mean, look at I'm not trying 136 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.200 to give you a hard time. I'm just saying I'm not sure it is 137 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.519 enough to prove it. Mark. Does it sound to you or Deputy Doc, 138 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.879 does it sound to you like that's enough proof? No? No, 139 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.960 it sounds like hearsay. But if the guy Quinton, okay, and let's 140 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.879 say he subpoena is the logs and he sees that certain did these employees come 141 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.320 in on their off hours? Mallorie? It would have had to because the 142 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.399 place closes at nine. Okay, hold on, I'm Tom Martino three oh 143 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.720 three seven one three talk. We will examine this.

You know often 158 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.759 people call us and have a connection in their minds and it's probably accurate, 159 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.320 but impossible to prove. And unless the company or the other party is willing 160 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.279 to come forward, you have to force their hand. Now, Mallory, 161 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:50.879 you understand that the fact that people had access to the entire facility does not 162 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.759 prove they took anything from you. Now you're saying, logically, if they 163 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.960 had their own lock on there, and they have access. They're the only 164 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:09.080 ones that could have done it, So I don't disagree. I'm wondering how 165 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.960 much they would fight this. Are they willing? Are they willing? Let's 166 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.480 ask this first before we talk about small claims. Are they willing to do 167 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.080 anything for you? I don't know the district manager we were staying there. 168 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.039 He told me to call the police, make a police report. Once a 169 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.639 police report came, he would look at the cameras to see because the only 170 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.240 thing that would really give him the clue is to see who came out with 171 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.720 my bike, because the bike is a bigger item that does not easily hid. 172 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.559 So, okay, you can look at the cameras. Did he But 173 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.720 you said there was no camera, There was no video. The cameras is 174 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.879 outside. Oh so he hasn't done that yet. No, Okay, here's 175 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.960 what I would do. How much in total? Are you missing quite a 176 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.399 bit? Well, give me an idea, I mean quite a bit. 177 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.200 What did you have in the storage unit? I had? I had both 178 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.279 brand new clothes, brand new shootings. My bike will give me a value 179 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.159 that you think, what is your bike worth? Bikes aren't that expensive unless 180 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.919 you have a really I mean, are you a cyclist? An avid cyclist? 181 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.759 Sometimes I ride a lot? Well, no, I'm asking how much 182 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.279 is your bike worth, Mallory? Worth nine hundred and thirty one dollars? 183 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.279 Okay? Did you buy it for that? Yes? I bought if a 184 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.879 hirer than that, but it's all sale now for nine hundred and thirty one, 185 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.919 nine hundred and thirteen dollars. Okay. How old was that bike? 186 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.759 It was just now about last year a yuroo. All right, and how 187 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.440 about the clothes? What do you think usually they value clothes at fifty percent? 188 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.600 What are what were your clothes worth? Were they brand spanking new? 189 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:54.399 Brand new? Had no clothes in a storage unit? Because I'm homeless right 190 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.480 now? Oh my goodness, Mallory, I didn't know that. Okay, 191 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.840 this is really important to you. So put a value on all this stuff. 192 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.000 My granddaughter's close. I would say, I bought. Just give me 193 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.600 a value for all of it, Mallory. I would say, at least 194 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:17.080 three thousand to thirty five hundred for all my clothes and my shoes, and 195 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.399 your and your bike. Another thousand on top of that. Yes, so 196 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.000 let's just say forty five. Let's say five grand you can initiate. If 197 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.480 they don't come through, you need to get that other guy, Quentin, 198 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.240 I believe you said his name was, and you need to initiate some kind 199 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.360 of small claims court action and have him talk about how people came in on 200 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:44.960 their off hours. And then you need to hope the judge will put that 201 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.879 all together for you, and how you can put the logic together that your 202 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.360 lock had been removed, their lock had been put on there, and you 203 00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:03.120 show that these people came back on their off hours. So maybe they no, 204 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.279 they left my lock it, Well, then how would they have gotten 205 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.680 in? That's my point. They have a master keycha every lock up there? 206 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.839 Oh wait a minute, that lock was not supplied by you. That's 207 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.799 there there. They supplied that lock. Yes, Okay, well it's the 208 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.079 same. It's the same argument, Mallory, same argument. I mean, 209 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.000 I don't see what else you can do. First, let's hope that public 210 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:32.000 storage will come through for you. If not, here's the steps we're gonna 211 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.559 do. First, we're gonna see what they do voluntarily. Second, we're 212 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.119 gonna give it to deputy doc to call over there, okay, and then 213 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:49.240 third Mark is gonna help you logistically with the small claim part. Does all 214 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:56.480 that sound okay? Yes, okay, So first let's play nice first with 215 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:02.200 UH with them, and then you call us back. I'm writing all this 216 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.240 down, so I'll have it here, okay. Just you just make sure 217 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.640 you use the same first name. That's how I do it, Mallory. 218 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.200 Okay, and then we'll have then then we'll have each step of the way. 219 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.640 But let's figure out what's gonna happen here. I have a feeling they 220 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.559 might fold three all three seven to one three talk seven one three eight two 221 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.480 five five.

Coming up. Brenda wants to talk 232 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.759 about one source. I believe Brenda's calling about this, clown. Is this 233 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:36.200 so Walter Lovely you're calling about? Hello? Is this about Walter Lovely? 234 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:44.680 Brenda? Oh? No, one source? Oh okay, he was the 235 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:51.200 beginning, he was the general, that's right, and then he coordinated contractors. 236 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.480 But then you hired you hired one source on your own to fix up 237 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.839 what they screwed up, right, And you're saying, okay, so and 238 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.720 I'm sorry about that. By the way, Brenda, my goodness, you 239 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:11.839 have to deal with so much. So now tell me what one source I 240 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.319 was going to give this. I gave this to Deputy Doc to call over 241 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.359 to one source because you wanted credit for work they didn't do. Yes, 242 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.720 well, Doc, did you call over there? Hold on, Tom, 243 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.359 I'm checking my notes. Okay, anyway, what's going on with you, 244 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.039 Brenda? Do you have anything to tell us or are you just calling in 245 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:37.359 to check. No, they called me so that I could talk. So 246 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.079 yet, one thing I can tell you that I didn't tell you Thursday or 247 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:48.119 Friday when I talked was the reason one sources bill was so high was because 248 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.519 I bargained with them because they had just come to my house, my main 249 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.720 house, and said it needed a new furnace in maybe two years or so, 250 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.880 and I did not get it at the time, but I bargained with 251 00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:04.440 them for the new furnst after they told me that the furnace, the brand 252 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.960 new furnace that was put in the little house was wrong. So then I 253 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.480 said, okay, if you can give me the furnace in my big house 254 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.319 that cost, I'll do it. And he said, well, we can't 255 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.240 do it at cost, but we can do it for a really low price, 256 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.559 which it turned out they're really low price was seven thousand dollars and that 257 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.519 is a really low price. Okay, so that was good then, I 258 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.200 mean, it's not it's not wholesale, but it's a good price. How 259 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:36.440 big is your house? The little house in the back were my maid the 260 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:42.319 one where they charged seven grand. That house is about one five hundred square 261 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.559 feet, so it's it's a little I don't know. You know what, 262 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.960 by today's standards, that's not outrageous. But here's what I want to know. 263 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.000 What are you calling about today? It did? Did? Did they 264 00:21:53.400 --> 00:22:00.799 replace the furnace in the little house and the Big House? Yes? What 265 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.599 happened to the furnace that that clown sold you Walter Lovely? They took that 266 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.200 furnace because they said that furnace was wrong? And then they what do you 267 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:17.319 mean they took it? Did they give you a trade in credit? No? 268 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:19.839 Well what did they do with it? It was a brand new furnace. 269 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.160 Yeah, they said it was wrong and they took it. They paid, 270 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.160 Well, what do you mean they took it? It has value? 271 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.640 Yeah, I don't know. Well what you hold on? Do you understand 272 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.599 you paid thousands of dollars for that first furnace? Yeah, it was brand 273 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.960 new, and you're telling me that one source simply hauled it away? Yeah? 274 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.200 Why did you let him do that? Oh? My, I don't 275 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.880 know. Brenda. Listen, if you were going to get credit for that 276 00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:03.480 furnace from Walter Lovely or his contractors, you're gonna need the furnace. Where 277 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:10.119 is that furnace? One source took it? I where is it Did they 278 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.000 make it disappear? Did they What did they do with it? I don't 279 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.480 know. I know they took it, though, Brenda, what are you 280 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:25.599 calling about today? You guys called me because I guess there was time for 281 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.079 me to be on the show. Okay, so today basically they remember, 282 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.839 they took out the right furnace, put in a brand new, huge furnace. 283 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.519 The city disapproved that huge furnace that they put in, and then they 284 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.839 took that out and put back a furnace just like the old one. Well, 285 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.839 how do you know it wasn't the old one? Yeah, I don't 286 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.319 know if it was. It wasn't. Branda, God, Brenda, when 287 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.440 you first, he's not here, he's coming into studio here in a minute, 288 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.599 Oh is he? Okay, let's give it to Chopper. Let's call 289 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.440 here's what I want to do, and you can give them instructions. One 290 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.920 source owes her money. In my opinion, how the hell do they justify 291 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.880 charging her for stuff she didn't get? And who is one source? Anyway? 292 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.720 What are they? What is one source? Didn't you say, Mark? 293 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.119 You looked them up there. They're a company, that's all they are. 294 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:29.039 Yeah, Okay, let's let's get Chopper to call one source three oh 295 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.599 three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five Brenda. We'll 296 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:40.680 get this done. Okay. Now I want to talk to Tanna the she 297 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.680 has a problem with the IRS. Tana, what's going on with you? 298 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.000 Hey, what's going on? Tana? Well, you know, is it 299 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.160 Tana or is it Tanya? It is Tanna like in Montana, Montana? 300 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.319 Tanna. Okay, Tanna, what's happening. Well, I'm not having a 301 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.440 problem with the IRS. I'm having a problem with Senior Apartment of Revenue. 302 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:07.039 Oh okay, what's going on? Well? I filed my taxes through a 303 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:14.240 turbo tax on February nineteenth. On February twenty second, I received an email 304 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.839 from the State of Colorado saying they had received my return. Then they didn't 305 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.359 hear anything for a while. So on the fifth of March I got on 306 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:30.759 their website and it said they had not received nor reviewed my tax return. 307 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:36.279 You said, you already got a confirmation email, and then they said exactly, 308 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.240 and they said, never mind, we never got it. Yeah, 309 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:44.920 we're just kidding. Okay, So the email. Did you keep a copy 310 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.559 of the February twenty second email of course, yeah, okay, And then 311 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.240 when you would if you go online today, they still claim they didn't get 312 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.799 it. No, I went online. This was on the fifth of March. 313 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.279 They didn't get it. However, on the sixth of March, because 314 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.880 I checked daily, they say they show that they have issued a check to 315 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.079 me. Now, when I filed my taxes, I gave them my checking 316 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:17.720 account information. It was all correct. But when I checked and I checked 317 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:22.680 it again today just to make doubly sure, their website says that they issued 318 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:29.519 checks to some people to avoid the possibility of fraud, which is the stupidest 319 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.880 thing I've ever heard. The IRS and the Social Security Administration send me my 320 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:40.279 money via direct deposit, but the state of Colorado, someone decided that there 321 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:44.720 are certain people. So was your let's get right to it? Was yours 322 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.319 mailed? Oh? They say they mailed it. Now on the sixth I 323 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.519 checked again. On I checked the fifth, they hadn't received it. I 324 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.559 checked the sixth, Oh, I got it. I heard that point. 325 00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.599 Did they say they mailed it or they did it electronically? They say they 326 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:06.200 mailed it, that they made the decision to override my request to have them 327 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.160 direct deposit. I get that, and they have every right to do that. 328 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.240 So what happened? Nothing? I still haven't gotten the check. Okay, 329 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.079 do you think, well, heck it was the twenty second. It's 330 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:25.240 almost a month.

Hi Tom 352 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.720 Martino here, All right, we're going to get an expert. We're trying 353 00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.680 to get an expert for that Colorado Department of Revenue problem right now. Gwen's 354 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.519 got a problem with a contractor. Gwen, what is going on with a 355 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:26.000 contractor? What's happening? We hired a contractor to do an addition, and 356 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:34.400 who'd you hire? Quality builders? Okay, what happened? They were doing 357 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.400 the addition. We told them a price and they agreed to it. Wait, 358 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.880 you told them a price and they agreed to your price. Yes, 359 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:51.000 okay? Is it in the contract, Gwen? Yes? Okay? And 360 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.720 how much was it for in the contract? One hundred and eighteen thousand, 361 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:03.400 okay. And what happened one room of a our existing house. Okay, 362 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:11.519 it was it a pop top. No, it's it's a it's a ranch 363 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.799 style house. And they were just going to do in addition one room bedroom 364 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.119 with a closet and a bathroom. But they were going to do that on 365 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.640 a second floor that doesn't exist. They were going to put a second floor 366 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.079 that's called the pop top. Okay, go ahead, okay, okay. 367 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:32.640 So when they did that, they found out that they had to push it 368 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.160 in five feet for some reason, but no one would tell me that reason. 369 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.799 But we lost five feet inward on one side, so in doing that, 370 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:47.920 we pushed it further the other way. They never got your approval for 371 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.039 that, Yeah they did, oh okay, but they didn't tell me what 372 00:30:53.119 --> 00:31:00.119 the reason was. Oh, okay, got it then. So then that 373 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.920 made it smaller and we needed more rooms. So I told him he could 374 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:11.680 go over to the we having an existing skylight in the roof, and he 375 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.720 could go over that far. But that was it. Well, when they 376 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:25.480 did that, they didn't rein factor that the bathroom coming up that they were 377 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:32.480 redoing, or you know, making the furnace, the flume of that would 378 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.599 come up into the middle of the bathroom. Right. Well that, yeah, 379 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:41.000 there's always alterations people make when they do additions. Yeah, so let 380 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.680 me get right to the problem. Are they overcharging for that change? Are 381 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.599 they charging? Are they not tell me what the problem is right now? 382 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:55.160 Okay? The problem is that in doing that, we had to buy a 383 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:02.640 different furnace for it to go out sideways? Okay, up, and then 384 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:13.559 we also ourselves in twenty seventeen put in a new twenty and sixteen water heater. 385 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.640 When they oh, that's pretty much that they wouldn't be wrong getting another 386 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.000 one now, But do you need a new water heater? Well, what 387 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:29.599 they did was, yeah, what they did was they put it a kit 388 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.880 on the water heater for it to go outside. In doing so, we 389 00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:42.359 have found out that they ruined it. It wasn't the correct kit to put 390 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:47.680 on that water heater. Oh, okay, so they have the water heater. 391 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:53.920 Did they replace the water heater? No? Do they know that that? 392 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:59.839 Okay? Do they acknowledge that the kit did not belong on the water 393 00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:07.319 heat. I don't know if they're acknowledging it. I sent them over bell 394 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:14.039 Plumb Plumbers, yes, which he was very disgusted and said it was illegal 395 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:20.200 what they did. Okay, hold on. What we need to do is 396 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:24.319 find out what we can do now, because apparently you did consult Belle Plumbing 397 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:29.960 and they gave you an opinion. And I'm not sure if Quality Builders agrees 398 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.240 with it. But we'll come back to this and more coming up.

Michael Plantinga is with us. 416 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.719 He's with larsontax Relief dot com. They're great people forgetting your tax problems 417 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.880 solved, but they also serve as experts for us. And Tanya says Michael 418 00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.000 that she followed with TurboTax on the nineteenth, got a confirmation email on the 419 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:29.679 twenty second saying they got the UH return at the Colorado Department of Revenue, 420 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:36.719 and they said on March sixth they issued a check and mailed it to her. 421 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:45.360 Now she had requested electronic you know, distribution, or she wanted to 422 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.719 get it to wired or however they'd aciate and they decided to mail it. 423 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.039 She took issue with that. And by the way, on that topic, 424 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:57.159 Michael, they said that they reserved the right to mail checks that they think 425 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.800 something's weird. I don't even know, Tana. What did they actually say 426 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:07.519 about why they mailed it? They all they say is that it's a fraud 427 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:13.199 prevention measure. Have you ever heard that, Michael? Then you know, 428 00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:16.519 not doing an ah instead mailing a check. Well, first to clarify, 429 00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:21.079 Tom, are we talking about Colorado Department of Revenue? Yes, yes, 430 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.639 okay, I have not heard of that before, but it wouldn't surprise me. 431 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.280 Okay. Now, next thing, it was mailed they said back in 432 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.840 uh, you know, a month ago. So what's going on? Does 433 00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.119 it usually take that long? Or what happens? Did they mail it? 434 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:43.079 Does she call somewhere to see if it was cleared or what does she do? 435 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.360 Well? What I would first say is perhaps it was mailed to a 436 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.199 former address hard to say, or it got lost in the mail. Her 437 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:57.880 best bet is likely to just contact the department directly and inquire as to the 438 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:00.400 status of the check. They mean need to put a stop on it and 439 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:06.000 remail another one tongue. That's what if it was cashed. What happens in 440 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:13.960 those cases when somebody steals a check that I have not encountered before, But 441 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:19.320 I would imagine that the state would then need to But here's what I've heard 442 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:23.559 on that they don't take I don't think the state takes responsibility for fraud or 443 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:29.719 for They don't take responsibility for fraud or theft. That's what I heard. 444 00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:35.320 But I want to know something. Did you actually call them Tanna yet? 445 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.840 He said just call and find out if it's been cashed? Of course I 446 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:44.960 did. They don't am a real person to ever answer the phone that you 447 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:50.719 just get a recording. They refer you to their website to check the status 448 00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.719 of your refund. There is no person to talk to you. I mean, 449 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:59.400 I've called every number I could find. You know, I've contacted their 450 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.960 coming a revenue tax to your service. I've contacted the Governor's office. I've 451 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:09.000 contacted Mike Lynch's office. How much is the refund check? How much is 452 00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:14.199 it? It's only twelve hundred dollars. But I'm disabled. I live on 453 00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.760 Social Security here twelve hundred. That's a lot of money. So that's a 454 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:21.679 lot of money, Tom. What I would suggest, Thomas? She called 455 00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:25.280 the collections department with Colorado Department of Revenue. Now why the collection department I 456 00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.920 ever work with and deal with. But they're pretty good about answering the phone. 457 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.079 She may be on hold for five ten minutes, but they may even 458 00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:37.559 be able to give her guided the collection. You know, that's one way. 459 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:42.679 When you go online, do you have a log in? You use 460 00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:47.679 Tana? Yes, and so you have a username and password for your account? 461 00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.880 I do, yes? And what does it say when you're on there? 462 00:38:54.039 --> 00:39:00.320 You go on and there's you know, there's a menu and it asks 463 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.639 if you want to contact them, and I do, and I send emails 464 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.400 and I send emails and I don't ever get a response. All you can 465 00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:15.800 get is go back and check the status of your refund. Well, obviously 466 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:20.679 you know I have done that, and I don't I guess I don't understand 467 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.519 the criteria that was used to decide that it was mine that they could do 468 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:28.039 this with. I hadn't worked for the previous two years. I was exempt 469 00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.960 because I'm just abled, And well, you know that Tana that Let's put 470 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:36.320 it this way. I want to I want to get right to that point 471 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.599 because you've mentioned it a few times. That's not going to matter. In 472 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.480 other words, whether they had a good reason to do it or not, 473 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:49.639 it's not going to get you any different outcome. I mean, it's just 474 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.719 I don't know. I know what you're saying. Why the hell they mess 475 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.480 with my check? Why didn't they just send me the refund? I don't 476 00:39:55.519 --> 00:40:00.559 know the answer to that. And Michael says he's never heard of them opting 477 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:05.880 to mail it when somebody asked for an ach a ach is much easier for 478 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.039 them. Now, while you guys are on, I want you to hang 479 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:12.559 on. I want Brenda to comment. What Brenda, what is your take 480 00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:16.360 on this? You say you have a comment on Colorado Department of Revenue. 481 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.039 Well, the same exact thing happened to my son in law last year with 482 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.880 his taxes. And what happened him, Well, they had selected they want 483 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.000 a direct deposit, and then they didn't get the check, and so they 484 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.840 called and they said the same exact thing that they had, for fraud reasons, 485 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.719 decided to mail it and they waited for the check to come, waited 486 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.480 for it. Comment never came, so they called the Department of Revenue back 487 00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:45.159 and requested they stop the payment and issue another check. Well, of course, 488 00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:49.400 the check showed up right when they did that, so then the first 489 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.239 check they got wouldn't work. So then they waited for the Department of Revenue 490 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:57.639 to send a second check, which took like three or four months later, 491 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.119 and it went to either a day from person that they when they called back, 492 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:05.880 they said somebody else cast it and they were going to have to research 493 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.199 who cast it. And then bottom line is they never got the refunds. 494 00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:14.119 They say, they never got it. So let me ask you this though, 495 00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.400 because this could help. How long did it finally take that first check 496 00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:22.159 to show up. Well, they waited the three or four weeks, you 497 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:28.119 know, after it was mailed, and literally they filed on Friday that the 498 00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:30.880 checked me. So it took about four weeks. It took about four weeks 499 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.199 and then yeah, and when they did the stop payment on Friday, of 500 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.679 course the check came on like Tuesday. No, no, I get it 501 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:39.880 now. This is what I'm thinking we should do at this point. And 502 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:45.360 thank you, Brenda. That helps us a lot. I appreciate that Brenda. 503 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.960 You know, when listeners call any this tells me something. She says 504 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.280 three or four weeks, and it's been about four weeks. You know what 505 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.199 we should do is just it hasn't actually been four weeks yet, TENA we 506 00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:59.920 ought to just I'm not saying we're going to drop this, but let's get 507 00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:07.480 it at least another week or so, and then we'll retackle it, because 508 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:12.880 because if this is a personal experience. Hey, Michael, have you heard 509 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.639 how long it's been taking for actual mail checks. Do you remember during COVID 510 00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:22.159 how they were doing. They were waiting two months to get stuff done. 511 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:25.159 Yeah, I agree with you, Tom, Maybe wait another week and if 512 00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:30.280 not, then try calling Colorado again and again. I would let her know 513 00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:36.519 to call the collections division. It's on their website under tax collections, and 514 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:38.360 if she just gets some answer to the phone there, they might be able 515 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:44.000 to transfer her. Okay, that's a good point, Michael. While I 516 00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:46.159 have you on, what are the challenge and by the way, just do 517 00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:50.239 what we say, Tanna. I wrote this down. When you call back, 518 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.679 I'll know you know, I'll go right to your record here. Now, 519 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.559 Michael, what challenges have been have been? People have been having as 520 00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:04.000 many challenges this year as in past years. No. So far, the 521 00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.519 filing process with both states and IRS has been pretty smooth. It's always a 522 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:13.199 challenge when people mail returns in for processing, but if they electronically file them, 523 00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:17.199 they go pretty quickly. And what about tax fraud? I hear that 524 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.679 as a major problem. That is a problem, And one of the issues 525 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:28.440 we encounter is taxpayers will be issued and notice by the IRS saying hey, 526 00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:34.719 your twenty twenty two return was flagged for potential fraud. Please call us with 527 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:39.239 this PIN number to verify, and people won't call to verify, so then 528 00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:44.519 they're twenty twenty three returns put on hold and it just stacks up if they 529 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.800 don't address it directly. Hey, Tom, how do you know you're really 530 00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.480 calling the right people? Tom? Can I ask Michael question hold on? 531 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.320 Yes you can, But Michael, how do you know you're when they say 532 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.960 you know your your tax return has been flagged? And we assume the I 533 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:07.239 r S will never call us, Yes, they're always going to contact us. 534 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.559 I should be a scam that someone creates down the road, but usually 535 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:14.880 it's on IRS letterhead. And if you have a tax profess professional like an 536 00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:19.320 attorney like myself representing you. My client would just forward it to me and 537 00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:22.400 say it's just legitimate, and I could give them advice as to whether or 538 00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.719 not it is. If people, if you ever get a notice and you're 539 00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:30.559 not sure, call us please and eight four four Larson tax is Larsent Tax 540 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.360 Relief dot Com l A R S O N DOC go ahead. What's your 541 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:37.000 question? Is there anywhere that she can go and talk to somebody in person? 542 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.719 Do they have an office or something where she can talk face to facing? 543 00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:46.239 Those days are over? I'm not sure, are they, Michael. 544 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:51.199 It's tough to say. I mean, she could try going to the Department 545 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.440 of Revenue directly and seeing if there's a receptionist or someone there that could give 546 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.559 some advice or guidance. Well, not not a reception but one of these 547 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.199 might be long gone time. Well you know that. I know what you're 548 00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:05.559 saying. But how did what if she just show up? Doc? I 549 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.119 mean there used to be a place downtown where you could go and get forms 550 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:13.960 and stuff. But I just you know, like sometimes like with Social Security, 551 00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:16.679 if you go to their office, it's a thousand times better than trying 552 00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.119 on the phone line. I don't think the I R S. Actually, 553 00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:22.519 I don't know that, Doc, I don't know that. I'm going to 554 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:28.840 ask. I'm going to ask my expert GP chat GPT. Okay, uh, 555 00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:31.440 you know, by the way, I was just telling Brooke from Red 556 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:38.800 Rock Solar. I was saying that I have found chat GPT to be very 557 00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:43.519 to be on and off. They have a lot of mistakes. I asked 558 00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:47.360 them a question about qualified investors, just I was. I just had a 559 00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:52.159 question about qualified versus accredited. They were all wrong, totally wrong. So 560 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.559 that's weird. But anyway, so does the I R S take in person 561 00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:01.719 appointments? Let's see what it says. And I don't know. Have you 562 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:05.480 guys used this yet? Mark, do you use it at all? Chat 563 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.519 GPT? Tommy's doing something on video. I do not use it. Our 564 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.440 kids use it though. That's kind of okay. You can make an in 565 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.239 person appointment. You need to schedule it in advance. For individuals with tax 566 00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:22.280 issues they have not been able to resolve on the phone. To schedule it, 567 00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:27.000 you call the IRS appointment line. Have you ever heard of that? 568 00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:31.719 Michael Plantanga the appointment line? Okay, And then you have a tax they 569 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:38.360 have a tax assistance center located in your area and you get face to face 570 00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:42.840 help. They say that's what she needs. I would say, that's the 571 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.519 next step, So let's wait a week or so and then do that. 572 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.719 Sally's got a comment, Go ahead, Sally, what's your comment? Hey, 573 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:55.119 that's pretty normal. I moved out to Colorado in twenty twenty in March, 574 00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:01.519 and I had styled my state refund and they didn't. I opted for 575 00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:07.199 direct deposit and they told me they were sending me a check. So I 576 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.320 asked him why and they said, it's just random. They said, oh, 577 00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.000 you know, some people they send it to you and some they don't. 578 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.239 It's just kind of like a lottery type of thing, quote unquote. 579 00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.719 But that does not sound abnormal to me at all, because it happened to 580 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.760 me. And my problem was I was moving out of state, so I 581 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.920 was like, well, how am I going to intercept that check? But 582 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.920 it ended up going to my Colorado address? And how long did it take 583 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:40.800 come to my uh, I don't know, three four weeks maybe? Okay, 584 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:44.920 she's right at the third night, three and a half weeks or something. 585 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.280 So Sally, thank you very much. I'm Tom Martinez.

Welcome to the show. All 595 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:42.199 right, listen, we have a lot to talk about. I have a 596 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.519 lot of questions coming in on solar, so be patient. If you have 597 00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.440 called us on solar issues. Okay, Now I want to go back to 598 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:57.320 Gwen because this is uh, this is who we left off with high quality 599 00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:01.519 builders. Basically, you say altered your plan because they said they had to. 600 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:06.000 We don't know if it was a building department issue, a permit issue. 601 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.679 We have no idea why that happened. But they had to alter the 602 00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:14.760 plan, causing them to need a causing you to need a new furnace. 603 00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:20.440 You said, right yes. And in addition to that, they tried to 604 00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:24.880 adapt your water heater to be put outside and they ruined your water heater. 605 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:30.519 Now, your water heater was old enough anyway that they didn't ruin much. 606 00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.480 It was eight years old, although you know water heaters can last fifteen and 607 00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:37.280 sixteen years have taken care of. But what I need to know is this, 608 00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:45.159 if we call quality builders, do they admit that they ruined your water 609 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:49.719 heater? No, they are not omitting it. But she did ask for 610 00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:55.559 a second opinion and then still didn't do anything. Okay, Is the addition 611 00:49:55.760 --> 00:50:02.440 done right now? No? We told him they could do that, we 612 00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.719 could do the tile, and they did not listen to us, and they 613 00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:10.480 did the tile themselves. So we had to put an additional five thousand to 614 00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:16.400 get them done. I'm going to ask this gw again, Gwinn. Is 615 00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:22.320 the addition completed the upper room? No? Okay, what needs to be 616 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:28.480 done still under the contract? Well? Nothing, because they quit it. 617 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:34.679 We stopped it, so you fired ourselves. You fired how much have you 618 00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:42.880 paid well so far? The one eighteen, the forty five thousand for the 619 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:49.039 water heater, forty five thousand dollars for a water heater, forty five hundred, 620 00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.199 oh my god, forty five hundred for the water heater, two hundred 621 00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:58.519 and seventy dollars for the kit that goes on top of the water heater. 622 00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:01.159 But you said you bought a new water heater. Did they ruin the new 623 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:07.599 water heater or your old one? Well, the old one was only twenty 624 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:13.039 and sixteen that we put in in twenty seventeen. Here's what I'm asking. 625 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:16.280 I'm going to ask this again. Did they ruin by putting the adapter on 626 00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:21.679 to get it outside? Did they ruin the old heater or a new one? 627 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:25.880 Yes? Yes, that one, the twenty sixteen one. Okay, 628 00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.360 so you bought a new water heater. Yes, we bought a new water 629 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:36.199 heater. Okay, Now I understand without regard to who owes who what, 630 00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.239 here's what I need to know. Where does it stand right now? With 631 00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:43.760 your addition, how much still has to be done by either you or then, 632 00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:49.800 without regard to who should do it? Okay, when they stopped, 633 00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:59.760 we had to they painted a fourth of the way top of the surrounding. 634 00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:07.280 We had to paint from the fourth way down to the floor, so we 635 00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:12.719 had to do that. We have to put in the pocket doors. We 636 00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:15.440 had to find the pocket door hardware. They stepped the way back in there. 637 00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:22.519 We had to we have to do the plumbing for the faucets, the 638 00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:28.760 sinks, the counters of the vanity. We said we would buy all the 639 00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:36.000 stuff that we could buy so it would cut down on our costs. Okay, 640 00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:45.519 so what's left now is stairs redoing this, you know, putting something 641 00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:49.440 on the stairs and curtains and you know, all that kind of stuff. 642 00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:54.559 But we're waiting for someone to drill holes, a family friend to come droe 643 00:52:54.599 --> 00:53:04.280 holes for our sinks. Okay, now I'm gonna I'm going to have somebody. 644 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.400 What do you want from them right now? I want them to pay 645 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:16.280 for the water heater and get it correct so that we don't have poisoning that 646 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:21.280 they could have poisoned us with. What do you mean poisoning? What does 647 00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:27.679 that mean? What's the poisoning? Joe? I have no idea. What 648 00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:37.320 you it's a gas water heater? Oh okay, okay, so where's that? 649 00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:43.920 Where's the water heater right now in the basement, and Bell Plumbing took 650 00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:49.440 it apart because he thought it would have killed us and the animal. So 651 00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:53.599 you have no hot water right now, no for two months now, and 652 00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:59.960 you want quality builders to come and fix it. Yes, And she said 653 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:05.800 that they that it passed rough inspection. They did not even pull a permit 654 00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.159 that I think, well, what does Bell say needs to be listen? 655 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:12.719 What does Bell say? What do they say needs to be done to it? 656 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:19.960 Get a lawyer? But no, no, I'm asking how can if 657 00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:28.159 you asked Belle to fix it, what would they do five thousand, seven 658 00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:32.800 hundred dollars worth of work? What would they do heat? I need listen, 659 00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:37.800 I why do you need a new water heater because this one's ruined? 660 00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:42.159 Why is it ruined? I'm going to go all over this again until I 661 00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:45.119 get in out. Why is it run work? What it won't work? 662 00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:49.639 Why will it not work?

Hey? How you doing? Thanks 778 01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:33.920 for taking my call? What's happening with the car wash? So I went 779 01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:38.079 to the car wash. It didn't break my antenna. It tried to rip 780 01:04:38.119 --> 01:04:42.480 it off, ban my fender? Uh and skip pay? Wait wait wait, 781 01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.199 bet your fender. What kind of car is this? It's a F 782 01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:51.000 one fifty pickup chuck and F one fifty. And this is an antenna that 783 01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:55.400 because a lot of cars don't have antennas anymore. Is this an older one? 784 01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:01.960 Yeah, it's an O seven Okay, so okay, and what happened? 785 01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:05.440 It tried to rip it out? Did it get caught on a brush? 786 01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:09.559 Yeah, I got caught on a brush, tried to bend it, 787 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:13.880 bent the front fender, chip the paint. So they did a little report, 788 01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:16.960 send it up the ladder, and all they kept saying was, well, 789 01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:19.880 we have a disclosure. We have a disclosure where you should take your 790 01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:24.920 antenna off. The problem is the twenty cars that we're going through while I 791 01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:29.760 was doing the report, no one was taking their intent off. So they 792 01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:31.920 did the report. Well, I know, I understand, I understand what 793 01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:36.000 you're saying. I'm not sure though, I'm not sure they're going to be 794 01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:43.079 responsible for this because do they have a sign? Do they actually have a 795 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:47.559 sign that tells you to take off your antenna? They do, damn it. 796 01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:54.199 That's gonna make it go ahead, keep everyone in the world from ever 797 01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:58.119 getting sued. If they just said, well we have a sign, no, 798 01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:02.440 that's not true. It has to be reasonable, meaning this. If 799 01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:11.039 they said we take no responsibility whatsoever and they have a brush fall down and 800 01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:16.599 grab your antenna, that's different. We're talking about a normal operation. If 801 01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:21.519 during the normal course of things that grabbed your antenna, they're going to say, 802 01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:28.199 we foresaw this happening, and therefore we put up a disclaimer. We 803 01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.800 can discuss it if you want, but I can tell you for sure that 804 01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:36.320 it's not the same as just disclaiming everything.

Three oh three seven one three talks seven one three 816 01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:47.440 eight two five five. You know Brook White from redrocksars dot Com has has 817 01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:50.719 shown me something that just blew my mind, and we're gonna go over it. 818 01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:57.480 But I'm telling you, if I told you you could get a solar 819 01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:09.400 system that would offset nearly three hundred thousand dollars in your utility bill, that 820 01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:12.599 would be a good reason to get one. But what if I told you, 821 01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:20.760 not only can you get a solar system to offset nearly three hundred thousand 822 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:27.279 dollars in utility bills, but on top of it, what if you could 823 01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:35.479 get that system at zero charged you out of pocket, and at the end 824 01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:45.720 of the year you experience a positive cash flow on it because of electricity you're 825 01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:54.880 selling. All of this sounds like it's crazy, but it is absolutely positively 826 01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:59.720 true, and we will go over it step by step. Coming up, 827 01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:04.199 this is something you need to hear you need to hear it. Now, 828 01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:12.800 let's talk back to Warren. Warren. I understand why Warren's upset because disclaimers, 829 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:16.600 by the way, are disclaimers that sometimes are ridiculous. I often give 830 01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:21.199 the example. I often give the example of in the horse riding business, 831 01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:26.359 we have an equine law in this state, but there are some states that 832 01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:29.600 don't have an equine law. In this state, you can't sue for equine 833 01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:32.560 activities. But let's say another state where you can. They put up a 834 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:39.279 sign that says not responsible for injury or death or not respond whatever, and 835 01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:44.159 then you sign it and the guy punches you in the face. Well, 836 01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:50.439 obviously, obviously that disclaimer would not hold up. Why because they're limited. 837 01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:58.359 Now, if a car wash put up a sign that says we're not responsible 838 01:09:58.399 --> 01:10:01.119 for any vehicle damage, what's however, it would never hold up. Ever, 839 01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:08.399 But if they know that certain cars have problems with antennas, or certain 840 01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:13.680 cars have problems with certain things, and they warn you about them and say 841 01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:19.399 remove them or don't go through there or whatever, it could hold up. 842 01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:25.800 In Warren's case, he had an old f one point fifty and the antenna 843 01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:30.000 got caught on the brush and it tried to rip it out in a bent 844 01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:36.319 defender where the antenna is mounted, and it chipped his paint. He wants 845 01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:41.800 to know, can I get damages? They say no, because there is 846 01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:45.159 a sign that says remove it. Is that it in a nutshell worn? 847 01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:51.000 Okay, okay, So here's the bottom line. I don't think you're gonna 848 01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:55.560 win it, Warren. But Warren said, but can't they just put up 849 01:10:55.560 --> 01:10:58.840 a sign and not pay for anything. No, they can't. It has 850 01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:02.920 to be in the law reasonable. Okay. For example, if they say 851 01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:11.279 remove the antenna and you didn't, but the antenna is ripped off by an 852 01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:17.560 employee or hit by something that's not supposed to be there, it's not your 853 01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:23.760 normal operation. You could make the argument the disclaimer was for normal function. 854 01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:28.319 So Dick has a comment, by the way, in this car wash issue. 855 01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:35.359 Go ahead, Dick, Dick, I know, I don't know if 856 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:41.199 you're trying to talk. I can't hear you. Go ahead. Is something 857 01:11:41.239 --> 01:11:45.479 wrong with his phone? Yeah, Dick, we're not hearing you unless you're 858 01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:49.800 tweeting. But see if you can re establish that. I see what he 859 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:53.920 wanted to say. But that's the case. Three oh three seven to one 860 01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:58.000 three talk seven one three eight two five five. I'm going to go now 861 01:11:58.039 --> 01:12:03.560 to Brook red Rock Roofinsolar redrocksars dot com. She's going to give us a 862 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:13.119 real example of a commercial system she recently did. Brook. What makes it 863 01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:18.560 possible to get one percent of your system paid for plus have positive not only 864 01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:25.239 wait, more than one percent of your system paid plus make money? How 865 01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:30.000 can that possibly be true? Okay, go ahead, tell me how that's 866 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.319 true. Sure, absolutely. So. The first thing is is you'd have 867 01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.880 to qualify for the REP grant program, so there's different What does what is 868 01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:43.520 REAP and when does reap uh stop end? You've got about three weeks left 869 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:45.800 to put an application through, folks. Do most solar people know how to 870 01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:48.319 do a REAP? No, because you have to have a grant writer that 871 01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:53.119 knows how to write it, So most folks don't know most solar cost What 872 01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:57.520 is the actual deadline for REAP? Yeah, so June thirtieth is the last 873 01:12:57.520 --> 01:13:00.840 time that they accept any applications. It usually to about four to six weeks 874 01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:05.039 for the grant writer to send in the application, and then obviously it takes 875 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:08.800 about a month for us to build the application for it to get to the 876 01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:14.199 grant writer. So the rep grant ends June thirtieth, and it has to 877 01:13:14.199 --> 01:13:16.159 be written in a special way. Absolutely, you have to have a grant 878 01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:20.000 writer that does it. Are you sure? You can't you? There's just 879 01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:25.079 not an application. There is an application that you could do yourself, but 880 01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:28.600 the likelihood of success is probably like and what does the grant writer do? 881 01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:31.560 What is the grant writer asking for? What is the purpose of this grant? 882 01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:35.000 Leap? People? You need to listen to this because this could do 883 01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.960 you have a writer that you use, Yeah, absolutely, we do. 884 01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:42.960 Her name is Margie. She's been writing different solar grants for the last twenty 885 01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:45.720 five years. Have you been turned down on any of them? No? 886 01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:48.760 Because because Margie's done it before, so she knows what. Okay, So 887 01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:53.680 this is a request for the REAP grant. What is a REAP? What 888 01:13:53.720 --> 01:13:58.439 does REAP stand for? It's a Rural Energy Americats tied to the farm bill, 889 01:13:58.880 --> 01:14:02.399 so it's designed for ag projects and commercial projects in rural areas to receive 890 01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:08.000 fifty percent of their project. So it's Rural Energy America projects. Yep. 891 01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:10.880 Absolutely, And I can give you the website link if you want to. 892 01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:17.399 So the last application is due June thirtieth, but they sub Colorado has eight 893 01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:23.800 million dollars every quarter to distribute to this grant, and the last distribution is 894 01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:26.680 going to be the last quarter of twenty twenty three or twenty three, be 895 01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:29.760 four. I apologize, this program's not getting extended. So you've got three 896 01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:33.119 weeks left to get fifty percent of your project paid for as a grant rebate, 897 01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:39.880 meaning once your project passes final inspection. So the last quarter is this 898 01:14:40.840 --> 01:14:45.159 year yep. So the applications are due in June and then they'll continue doing 899 01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:50.079 funding for all four quarters in twenty twenty four and then it'll be done. 900 01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:54.479 Okay. And what does the REP grant do. It pays for fifty percent 901 01:14:54.520 --> 01:15:00.119 of your project period yep. Why why don't more people know about this because 902 01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:05.079 typically, and it has to be commercial, it has to be either tied 903 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:11.840 to an AG project or small business of some sort. What kind of small 904 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.520 business have to your rural Nope, as long as the it's in an eligibility 905 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:19.960 zone, which means that it can't be in an area of fifty thousand people 906 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:25.880 or more. So fifty thousand people are less qualified for this. So almost 907 01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:30.560 anything out of the an eligibility zone or an AG project. Yes, is 908 01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:35.600 that this egg anywhere? Okay? Got it? All right? So then 909 01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:41.640 what so is as long as you meet that, then you get to, 910 01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:44.479 hey, Brook, I got a question. If you can to get the 911 01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:48.520 grant for fifty percent of your project regardless of anything else, even if it 912 01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:53.479 goes over. In other words, that fifty percent on the on the example 913 01:15:53.479 --> 01:15:57.279 you showed me and Mark, I'll get right, so that they came out 914 01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:00.720 with money ahead. Yeah, absolutely, because the grant program it's just fifty 915 01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:03.840 percent of the project. So as long as you're asking the government for less 916 01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:08.000 than a million dollars, so two million dollar project still gets fifty percent, 917 01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:12.279 Okay, okay. So that with the appreciation which is twenty three percent, 918 01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:15.319 the Buy American Act ten percent tax credit, as well as the federal tax 919 01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:18.960 credit, one hundred and thirteen percent of your project cost is paid for by 920 01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:23.680 the government incent which means you put money in your pocket. Yep. Absolutely, 921 01:16:24.039 --> 01:16:26.199 Why is the okay? Mark? You go, and then I'm going 922 01:16:26.239 --> 01:16:28.359 to ask why is the government doing this? Market? Well, if you 923 01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:32.319 someone if someone had a duplex or triplex or quad plex and they rented it 924 01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:38.479 out that would be a small business if it was an LLC, though you 925 01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:42.479 could get it paid for right the apartment house. So the only exception to 926 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.920 what you're asking for mark is long term rentals don't count. So so an 927 01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:50.720 airbnb would, an airbnb would, as long as you a hotel, one 928 01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:55.960 hundred percent of hotel would. As long as you're paying occupancy tax or have 929 01:16:56.039 --> 01:17:00.520 a short term rental license, then you qualify what other businesses are just the 930 01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:05.680 long term rentals and anything that's not federally legal. So in Colorado, any 931 01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:12.479 marijuana businesses would not qualify for the grants. Now, in addition to that, 932 01:17:12.640 --> 01:17:15.800 you get the normal tax credits, and that's thirty percent. Thirty percent 933 01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:19.560 for the tax credit, since we have to comply with the Buy American Act. 934 01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:24.319 For the grant anyways, you've receive an additional ten percent of your project 935 01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:28.279 from who from the government. Is that inn a tax credit too? Yep, 936 01:17:28.279 --> 01:17:30.680 it's an additional ten percent. We write a letter to the IRS and 937 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:36.119 why is that? Because it's all American products exactly. And then you get 938 01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:42.279 twenty three percent in depreciation between the state and federal depreciation levels. Wait, 939 01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:46.560 wait, you get that the first year you get to receive eighty percent of 940 01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:50.199 eighty five percent of the depreciation available, and then the next five years you 941 01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:54.560 get to take a piece of that. Hold on. Oh yeah, depreciation's 942 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:59.359 wild, but you get to write off a big chunk in depreciation. It 943 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:02.399 totals up to twenty three percent of the projects, and you receive eighty percent 944 01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:06.640 of that in the first year, eighty percent of eighty five percent, you 945 01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:11.760 get eighty five percent over five years, and then the remaining of it over 946 01:18:11.800 --> 01:18:16.479 the next five years. Okay, so eighty five percent depreciation immediately, but 947 01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:20.720 you only get eighty percent of that the first year, eighty of the eighty 948 01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:25.520 five percent. Yeah, and again, I'm not a tax professional. This 949 01:18:25.600 --> 01:18:30.119 is from folks that I've spoken with and the state that I worked with last 950 01:18:30.119 --> 01:18:33.760 week to make sure I had all of my information correct. And this project 951 01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:39.119 you did. Are you allowed to say who it is or not? I'm 952 01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:43.239 not sure if they're comfortable. You guys know one, but kind of business? 953 01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:47.000 What kind of business? It's a gas station and they're going to be 954 01:18:47.000 --> 01:18:50.079 making money on this? Oh? Absolutely, okay, So in addition to 955 01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:54.520 the fourteen grand they put in their pocket just for doing it, what does 956 01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:59.960 it yield them. Oh wait, they're offsetting three two hundred something in money. 957 01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:01.239 Yeah, and they all see in real money. Yeah. And they 958 01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:09.720 also have tenants tied to this business. So what kind of tenants. They're 959 01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:15.079 different retail stores that are involved within the gas station itself. Did you put 960 01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:19.119 all this together or did is this written somewhere all of these benefits. I 961 01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:23.800 had to put them all together. So most of the time when you're working 962 01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:27.640 with a solar person, they're just looking for that quick buck install. What 963 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:30.479 I do is I actually work with all of the different incentives available to folks 964 01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:33.239 to get them as much money back as possible. So eighty five percent, 965 01:19:33.279 --> 01:19:36.640 depreciate eighty percent, you take the first year, the rest over five years, 966 01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:41.840 and then where's what other money comes. Yeah. So in this specific 967 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:44.439 case, he's going to qualify for the grant program, the REP grant, 968 01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:47.680 So the buy amer connect, the Federal tax credit depreciation, and the REP 969 01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:51.279 grant all total up to one hundred and thirteen percent of this project. What 970 01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:57.920 can you do for people that it's residential Brooke, Yeah, for residential they 971 01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:01.039 would still receive forty percent of their product JCT paid for because they still call 972 01:20:01.119 --> 01:20:05.000 for for the federal tax credit as well as the Buy American Tax Credit and 973 01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:11.159 the Buy American tax credit. That's the UH for Buy American tax credit. 974 01:20:11.199 --> 01:20:14.159 Okay, yep. So what we do is we write a letter that you 975 01:20:14.239 --> 01:20:18.640 found is that only for the solar systems buy American tax credit. In other 976 01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:23.000 words, do you know that? I mean, they don't give ten percent 977 01:20:23.039 --> 01:20:26.119 credits for anything else. It's just for solar, right, the extra ten 978 01:20:26.399 --> 01:20:28.840 Yeah, the extra tenant's tied to Solar Society. Yes, that's what I 979 01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:31.039 mean. Okay, got it? Okay, So one hundred and thirteen percent 980 01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:36.680 is paid and then it but then then not only that mark, not only 981 01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:41.479 do they have a posit of fourteen rand going into the damn thing, but 982 01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:45.399 then they boss set two hundred and seventy something thousand in bills, and then 983 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:50.880 their tenants are still going to pay retail value for the power that they're renting 984 01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:54.439 from them that the solar's producing. So on top of it, they're going 985 01:20:54.479 --> 01:21:00.000 to make money from their tenants. Okay, and these are commercial tenants. 986 01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:05.840 Okay, hold on, and then what about what about the UH selling back 987 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:09.760 to the grid. Did they make money there too? So with this it'll 988 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:13.239 be tied as a net metering agreement, which means that they get dollar for 989 01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:16.439 dollar retail value on whatever they send to the grid. So how much could 990 01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:20.600 they send to the grid In this specific case, they can install a system 991 01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:26.560 one hundred and twenty percent of what their usage is, so about twenty percent 992 01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:29.239 of this that they can sell back to the grid. How much will that 993 01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:31.399 be? You know? Did you do any estimates? Yes? I did? 994 01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:35.840 Can everyone put Can everyone put in a one hundred and twenty percent system? 995 01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:40.600 Everyone can put it in at least one hundred and twenty percent system or 996 01:21:40.760 --> 01:21:44.760 a limit to the system size. So for instance, Core says it's either 997 01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:48.079 one hundred or I'm so sorry, United, it's either one hundred and twenty 998 01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:54.439 percent offset or a twenty five kilowatt limit, whichever you reach first. So 999 01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:58.000 it just depends on the utility that we're working with. As far as selling 1000 01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:01.560 power back to them, you're usually so it at wholesale value, So you're 1001 01:22:01.560 --> 01:22:04.319 not really going to make that much money. You're going to make about two 1002 01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:09.079 to four cents per kilo what hour. But if the government's paying you to 1003 01:22:09.159 --> 01:22:13.640 install a solar anyways, everything, why is this one dollar for dollar dollar 1004 01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:17.079 for dollar for the net metering aspect, So every utility company has twelve months 1005 01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:19.840 to roll over what you send them because obviously in the summer you're going to 1006 01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:24.159 produce more, right in the winter, your your system's not going to produce 1007 01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:27.119 as much as you're using, right, right, So the summer months offset 1008 01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:30.880 that. But every twelve months they have to cash you out for anything you've 1009 01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:35.319 sent them in access and that's in re that's in wholesale value. It could 1010 01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:42.319 a business like this make one hundred grand. It depends on how much their 1011 01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:45.920 tenants use and what the charges of what the tenants use are. But yeah, 1012 01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:51.119 absolutely one hundred percent feasible. Okay, this can they make more? 1013 01:22:51.159 --> 01:22:55.760 Do you know of any systems making more? Or do they? Can you 1014 01:22:55.800 --> 01:23:00.399 put in a solar farm or you're limited to that one. So so I'm 1015 01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:04.079 working with a company that's out of a Denver here and their tenant uses most 1016 01:23:04.119 --> 01:23:10.199 of their energy needs. So based on building a system for them, they 1017 01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:13.720 don't even qualify for the grant project, but we're reducing their costs so much 1018 01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:19.760 that they're going to profit about two to three hundred thousand a year because they 1019 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:24.359 get to charge their tenants retail rates that they're already paying right now. They're 1020 01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:28.239 not increasing right, but their energy costs is dropping to a third of what 1021 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:30.800 it was, so they're making two thirds of what the bill would be. 1022 01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:34.279 Does that make sense? Yeah, Mark, do you have any We'll come 1023 01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:41.000 back with it. This is like blowing my freaking well. She has completely 1024 01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:44.640 changed the solar industry. We know a lot of people and it She's the 1025 01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:47.840 only company, or the only person for that matter, that I know, 1026 01:23:48.199 --> 01:23:53.119 who knows how to put all the grants together, all the rebates. When's 1027 01:23:53.159 --> 01:23:57.960 the last time you heard any other solar company talk about that additional ten percent 1028 01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:02.159 made American on commercial or residential? Have you ever heard it before? Never? 1029 01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:05.359 Well, what the hell? And she does all the paperwork. You 1030 01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:09.279 don't have to worry about it. In fact, she was finishing up on 1031 01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:12.840 that. What is that that by American? You ask, we're gonna come 1032 01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:15.319 back and talk about that.

Hi Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three O three 1045 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:24.359 seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. So we've been 1046 01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:31.600 talking about the most incredible advances in solar financing in my opinion, and I 1047 01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:38.319 say solar financing, I mean, my god, what it is. It's 1048 01:25:38.359 --> 01:25:43.920 made possible through a REAP grant which expires June thirtieth as far as applications go. 1049 01:25:44.079 --> 01:25:50.079 But here's the point. Even without that REAP grant, thirty percent task 1050 01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:55.640 credit, the extra ten percent for buying American, the eighty five percent depreciation 1051 01:25:56.680 --> 01:25:59.920 for businesses? Is that part of reaper? Do you get that anyway? 1052 01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:02.279 For commercial? You get that anyway for commercial? Okay, Now for your 1053 01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:06.520 home? Do you get that extra ten percent for buying American? Absolutely? 1054 01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:12.520 I don't think there's one mark. I don't think one solar company has ever 1055 01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:17.800 mentioned. I've never heard an advertisement besides Brook that's done it. The extra 1056 01:26:17.840 --> 01:26:23.880 ten percent. Yeah, because most that's nearly happened. Let's just put it 1057 01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:27.159 what it is. They either don't know it exists, or they don't know 1058 01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:30.720 how to do it. Well, they don't buy the right supplies to qualify 1059 01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:33.560 for it. Right, that's very possible too. It has to be all 1060 01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:39.239 American who put in that extra ten percent? Was that Biden's thing? I'm 1061 01:26:39.279 --> 01:26:43.199 not sure it became available in twenty twenty three install So I just had a 1062 01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:46.359 damn cool Yeah. I just had a client get it and receive it. 1063 01:26:46.399 --> 01:26:49.039 So that's why I was comfortable to say, yes, we can now offer 1064 01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:53.560 this because I wanted to make sure it went through. Now let's just say 1065 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:58.399 there is Let's say they missed the fifty percent project cost limiting to a million 1066 01:26:58.439 --> 01:27:01.760 dollars for the commercial system. Let's say they missed that but they still want 1067 01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:06.399 to oversize a system to sell back to the grid. Does it always pay 1068 01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:12.359 to oversize to sell back to the grid or not? No, it usually 1069 01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:15.399 does not pay for that if they don't get the rep grant program. I 1070 01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.439 don't. It's not worth it. The only time it's worth it is if 1071 01:27:19.479 --> 01:27:25.600 you envision a big energy increase, so eventually you will be using that power 1072 01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:30.560 that you're like freemptively supplying. So oversizing just for oversizing to sell back is 1073 01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:35.920 not economically feasible without the reap. If you had enough battery backup, though, 1074 01:27:36.079 --> 01:27:41.039 oversizing would be great, right if you could actually use that power to 1075 01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:49.000 like charge your car, So you're you're going to get paid back at about 1076 01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:55.520 one to four cents price per kil a lot when you over sell to the 1077 01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:57.960 No. No, no. What I'm saying is if you had a big 1078 01:27:58.039 --> 01:28:01.560 battery backup system that you could hold quite a bit of storage, and you 1079 01:28:01.640 --> 01:28:08.079 oversize your system to keep those batteries full all the time. I mean that 1080 01:28:08.239 --> 01:28:11.840 does that make sense or no? I just don't know. No, it 1081 01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:15.279 doesn't, because even when you're pulling power from the batteries or using your batteries 1082 01:28:15.279 --> 01:28:20.000 however you need to it still goes underneath the net metering agreement, which means 1083 01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:24.479 that at the end of twelve months, utility company is going to pay you 1084 01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:28.600 whatever access you sent them. Wait right, Wait, there's something I've never 1085 01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:31.760 heard either. You're saying if you have batteries, you still enter into an 1086 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:38.680 agreement with whatever electric company you're with, saying that even if i'm it doesn't 1087 01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:43.800 matter whatever you generate, even if you're storing it yourself, you're technically selling 1088 01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:49.119 that back to them. So with batteries, it's a fun means what you're 1089 01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:54.560 not using and part of your batteries would be considered you using it, right, 1090 01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:58.039 So it's whatever gets sent to the grid, right, Yeah, that's 1091 01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:00.039 exactly right. So if you're charging your battery, it's not being sent to 1092 01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:04.119 the grid. Well, your battery is automatically set to discharge to keep its 1093 01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:08.880 life time, so usually it goes from like eighty percent to forty percent in 1094 01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:12.479 its cycles and whatever. You're Oh, okay, so it is it is 1095 01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:16.279 as you're charging your batteries, your batteries are feeding the grid. Yeah, 1096 01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:20.439 it'll discharge for whatever makes the most sense for your battery system, but it's 1097 01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:25.800 still considered a net meter approach, So you know, and all, this 1098 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:29.079 is really confusing. I understand that. I first of all, I don't 1099 01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:32.840 normally ask this because it's a it's a weird softball question for businesses. But 1100 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:38.439 I am interested. How did a young woman get involved in solar? Why? 1101 01:29:38.520 --> 01:29:41.520 Why'd you do this? I mean, I'm curious. Yeah, absolutely 1102 01:29:41.600 --> 01:29:45.079 So. I was in the medical field before I started solar, okay, 1103 01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:48.119 and I developed something called pot syndrome when I was pregnant with my first kiddo. 1104 01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:53.800 Yeah, and so with that I could no longer stands because from sitting 1105 01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:57.680 to standing you pass out. So obviously medicine wasn't going to work anymore. 1106 01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:01.479 So after he was born, there's a lot going on, and I got 1107 01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:05.520 into solar and I loved it ever since. I feel like I'm truly helpful. 1108 01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:09.600 I was out of condition only while you were pregnant. Yeah, yep. 1109 01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:13.920 It's normal for folks that are of Eastern European heritage that are over five 1110 01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:16.680 eleven. So luckily I'm in that category. So then, so then you 1111 01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:21.439 went into solar, and then you could have gone back to medicine, but 1112 01:30:21.520 --> 01:30:25.720 this was so cool you just stayed with it. Yeah, I loved it. 1113 01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:30.359 And it allowed a lot of flexibility with having the kids. Now, 1114 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:32.199 does your husband work in it with you? No, we would be the 1115 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.720 worst working couple. Okay, Yeah, so he does. Okay, so 1116 01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:42.560 software guy. Okay. So as far as solar goes, how do you 1117 01:30:42.720 --> 01:30:46.279 source American products for that extra ten percent? Is it hard? No, 1118 01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:48.399 it's not that hard. You just have to know the right folks to talk 1119 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:54.800 to. Well, do most solar companies not use all American? Yeah? 1120 01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:58.000 Most of them don't. I'd say ninety nine percent of them don't. I 1121 01:30:58.039 --> 01:31:00.479 mean, how many have you ever heard of talk about the rec grant program 1122 01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:02.600 or the Buy American Acts? Now? Is REAP only for buying an American? 1123 01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:06.960 Yep? Any grant programs have to comply with the BAA on a federal 1124 01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:11.840 level. So like the City of Boulder grant, you don't have to follow 1125 01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:15.279 BAA, but you do for any federal grants that you receive. Now, 1126 01:31:15.279 --> 01:31:17.800 do you have a lot of grants in the pipeline before the June thirtieth deadline? 1127 01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:23.319 Yeah? We do. How do you even get to somebody to talk 1128 01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:27.199 about this? Because it sounds like a come on? No, it really 1129 01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:30.800 does. It sounds like a come on I'm so fascinated by the short term 1130 01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:34.000 rental the airbnb. You own something, I don't care where it is, 1131 01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:39.239 and that short term rental it doesn't have solar. You can get virtually a 1132 01:31:39.279 --> 01:31:43.600 free solar system through this. It's crazy. M Yeah, it's wild. 1133 01:31:43.680 --> 01:31:47.640 It definitely hits that category. One airbnb do it just one unit? I 1134 01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:51.640 mean you'd have to have a standalone obviously, right, I mean, is 1135 01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:55.079 that what you're talking about? Mark? Like a ski Shelly, Like you 1136 01:31:55.119 --> 01:32:00.600 own a house up in winter Park and you airbnb it, I would qualify. 1137 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:02.000 But if it was a long term rental, you don't get it or 1138 01:32:02.079 --> 01:32:05.239 listen to this time. This part's crazy too, and I quitted her last 1139 01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:10.760 time on this. If you had if you have another building, like I 1140 01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:14.720 have a building on our property, if I wanted to convert that into a 1141 01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:18.119 studio, for example, and buy it under my LLC or whatever I need 1142 01:32:18.159 --> 01:32:24.399 to do, I could put solar on that out building for virtually free. 1143 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:27.880 And even though you've got a big shade issue, if the government's paying you 1144 01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:31.279 to do it, any anything is positive in that point. Right. You 1145 01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:35.239 just need to make sure you have a commercial utility meter, and that's very 1146 01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:38.840 easy to do, and I can walk you through that process at any time. 1147 01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:43.560 All right, this sounds goofy, but qualify even if hold on Tom 1148 01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:47.560 and where he is right now, he generally just uses that property to do 1149 01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:50.279 the show. I mean, that's what he does. That's when he's almost 1150 01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:56.039 there, and that's it. If he converted where you're sitting right now into 1151 01:32:56.319 --> 01:33:00.560 its own commercially by one of his radio LL Caesar or whatever, would that 1152 01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:05.159 count? Could he put solar on that house virtually for free under this grant? 1153 01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:09.760 If he turned it into a studio. He couldn't because it's in the 1154 01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:14.199 Denver metro, it's not in a rural area. If he's this house and 1155 01:33:14.239 --> 01:33:16.720 put it in Bailey and is it for business, then yeah, one hundred 1156 01:33:16.720 --> 01:33:21.880 percent. He would still get the sixty three percent of the normal commercial benefits, 1157 01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:26.239 but he would not qualify for REAP because again, if it's a commercial 1158 01:33:26.319 --> 01:33:30.560 small business, it has to be rural. Your AG projects can be anywhere. 1159 01:33:30.680 --> 01:33:33.279 So I could do it, no problem, mount in Franktown or most 1160 01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:36.880 of Douglas County. You're in a rural area, right, Yeah, absolutely, 1161 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:41.439 as long as it's in a separate building, you're using it for commercial 1162 01:33:41.479 --> 01:33:45.399 purposes, and in your purpose, we would have to put a commercial meter 1163 01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:47.119 for that one part. Yeah, but it'd be really easy to do. 1164 01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:49.960 I do that all the time, right, it's just crazy. How about 1165 01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:54.119 someone that owns the strip mall Mark? Why wouldn't Mark? I'm serious, 1166 01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:56.720 Why wouldn't you do that? Well? I don't know. But how about 1167 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:59.920 someone that owns the strip mall. So let's say I own a strip mall 1168 01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:01.960 all like up where, I don't care where it is. The gart Brothers 1169 01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:05.119 used to own a bunch of it has to be for a strip mall would 1170 01:34:05.159 --> 01:34:09.159 have to be in a rural area too, right, Yeah, to qualify 1171 01:34:09.239 --> 01:34:12.079 for the grant, Well, that's fine. A strip mall in Douglas County, 1172 01:34:12.119 --> 01:34:15.079 a strip mall anywhere, a strip mall in a monument. How about 1173 01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:18.239 a strip mall anywhere? Who cares? As long as it's not Denver? 1174 01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:23.920 Pretty much? Yeah, so Denver, Colorado springs for Collins. Right, 1175 01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:27.880 So those bigger places definitely don't qualify, but just on the outskirts of them 1176 01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:32.000 too. But like a strip mall in monument would most likely qualify, right, 1177 01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:35.920 yep, absolutely think about that time. Now, listen, would you 1178 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:40.880 have let's say you did that solar, and then you sold the power to 1179 01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:44.680 your tenants. So not only were you getting your triple net each month, 1180 01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:48.159 but now you're not paying a utility bill. You got your system for free, 1181 01:34:48.439 --> 01:34:53.239 and you're charging your tenants the same amount they did for electricity. You're 1182 01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:58.640 simply adding more money each month in your own pocket. Yeah. The only 1183 01:34:59.199 --> 01:35:03.199 thing in that aspect that would say cost you more would be whatever your building 1184 01:35:03.319 --> 01:35:06.319 insurance is. Okay, let me let me just check with Freddie here, 1185 01:35:06.439 --> 01:35:12.520 fred do I owe you a thirty? Okay? And uh Mark, that's 1186 01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:16.560 my nickname for our or.

Eric? 1188 01:35:21.560 --> 01:35:25.760 I thought it was DJ Jazzy, Jeff Tom. It's a nightmare on 1189 01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:30.680 Monaco's Street. So it's Freddie.

Hi Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three oh three seven one 1197 01:36:13.079 --> 01:36:16.920 three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. All right, 1198 01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:25.479 So we've been talking about some extraordinary financing options grants, tax credits and 1199 01:36:25.600 --> 01:36:31.800 depreciation for solar systems that virtually, now don't get me wrong, virtually pays 1200 01:36:32.359 --> 01:36:40.399 more than more than one hundred percent of the cost of putting in solar, 1201 01:36:40.479 --> 01:36:48.000 which means you pocket extra money after installing the solar system. One thing that 1202 01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:53.960 should be clarified, though, is you pay for it upfront, then you 1203 01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:58.000 get the money back. So if you don't have the money upfront to do 1204 01:36:58.239 --> 01:37:00.520 these systems, it's all given back you in a rebate, right Brook, 1205 01:37:01.159 --> 01:37:05.880 Now that you actually don't need the money in your pocket, but you're right. 1206 01:37:06.079 --> 01:37:11.000 It is a reimbursement, Brook, Yeah, one hundred percent. So 1207 01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:15.760 everything in solar is done as a reimbursement. So there's state has a lot 1208 01:37:15.800 --> 01:37:21.920 of great programs for commercial people where they're offering twenty year terms at six percent 1209 01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:26.119 interest, depending on if you qualify, And so that's what most of my 1210 01:37:26.279 --> 01:37:30.039 commercial guys are going with. You're just doing a temporary loan and there's no 1211 01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:32.399 prepayment penalty, right, No, not at all. So the state actually 1212 01:37:32.439 --> 01:37:36.600 sits down with the business owner to determine what incentives they want to put back 1213 01:37:36.680 --> 01:37:39.600 into the loan, if they want to put any of those back, and 1214 01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:44.279 that's a discussion between the business owner and the state. Oh wait a minute, 1215 01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:46.840 So you could take all the rebates, put them in your bank account, 1216 01:37:47.479 --> 01:37:50.800 and then pay the loan off if you wanted to over a twenty thirty 1217 01:37:50.880 --> 01:37:54.800 year period. Yeah, I mean, where else can you get a twenty 1218 01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:58.800 year term at six percent interest right now as a business? Or or you 1219 01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:01.479 pay the money all at once and just do away with the loan. Or 1220 01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:05.600 if you have the cash, you don't even spend the six percent. Yeah, 1221 01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:11.159 but think about this. Let's say you took out you took out a 1222 01:38:11.239 --> 01:38:15.600 loan, and then you got all your money back and that money is making 1223 01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:21.399 you twelve fourteen to fifteen percent and you're paying it back to the state of 1224 01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:31.760 six percent. Hmm. Not impossible now, there is another grant you're not 1225 01:38:31.840 --> 01:38:39.680 going to believe. You're not going to believe this one where residential customers can 1226 01:38:39.760 --> 01:38:45.960 get their system done one hundred percent, no cost out of pocket, not 1227 01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:49.840 a dime. How is that possible? We're going to talk about that coming 1228 01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:53.720 up. I got to take this break. I'm sorry, but I promise 1229 01:38:53.800 --> 01:38:59.279 you there is a program.

We have another hour to go after this, but I want 1240 01:39:51.640 --> 01:39:57.560 to talk to Brooke White redrocksars dot com. We've been talking about special deals 1241 01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:05.439 for a financing grants, depreciation and tax credits and low interest loans for solar 1242 01:40:05.520 --> 01:40:10.279 systems. The government really is going out of its way to encourage you. 1243 01:40:10.800 --> 01:40:15.840 Now there's a special one I told you about where if you have a residential 1244 01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:23.159 system, you can get one hundred percent of the system covered. But it's 1245 01:40:23.439 --> 01:40:29.000 very special circumstances, Brook, What are those circumstances? Yeah? Absolutely, 1246 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:33.199 So it's got to be a natural disaster that occurred. So this and it's 1247 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:36.720 only one county, it's only Boulder County. From what I understand, a 1248 01:40:36.840 --> 01:40:44.479 natural disaster grant or what is it called natural what it's called the sustainability rebuilding 1249 01:40:44.600 --> 01:40:49.359 program. Okay, it was updated due to the Marshalltown fires that occurred, 1250 01:40:50.479 --> 01:40:54.720 and so that was the incentive or the reason behind it. So most of 1251 01:40:54.760 --> 01:40:59.039 the homes within that area or nearby, as long as it's a natural disaster 1252 01:40:59.159 --> 01:41:03.479 can have a variety of things done, including solar systems, EV chargers, 1253 01:41:03.640 --> 01:41:10.000 battery storage, high efficiency heat pumps, different electrical work can all get combined 1254 01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:15.119 into the program for rebuilding your home and it's it's Boulder County only, but 1255 01:41:15.279 --> 01:41:19.079 they cover one hundred percent of the cost. Yeah, I think what she 1256 01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:26.560 just said. It also sounds like it covers furnaces. Yeah, so it 1257 01:41:26.720 --> 01:41:30.720 just depends on what specifically you would need in the project. But it does 1258 01:41:30.560 --> 01:41:34.479 allow for a variety of different electrical upgrades as well as your heat pump. 1259 01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:45.199 So this is Boulder County Special Grant Sustainability Rebuild Program twenty million to distribute. 1260 01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:50.520 And I wonder how much how many people know about it?

And by the way, we're talking about 1283 01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:45.800 solar today and how to get a finance and all that. And I should 1284 01:43:45.880 --> 01:43:51.000 mention that eight eight eight Heating dot com specializes in high efficiency heat pumps. 1285 01:43:51.319 --> 01:43:58.960 That go with solar systems as well as other high efficiency systems too eight eight 1286 01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:03.880 eight heating, heating and air. So Brooke White is with us from red 1287 01:44:04.000 --> 01:44:10.439 Rocks Roofinsolar, which is redrocksars dot com, and she was talking about various 1288 01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:18.479 programs available that in essence, pay for all of your solar systems with increased 1289 01:44:18.520 --> 01:44:25.960 appreciation grants, tax credits, special assistance grants. I mean, there are 1290 01:44:26.039 --> 01:44:31.199 some incredible government programs. I didn't realize the government is so aggressive in paying 1291 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:36.479 for solar systems. But if you have a commercial system in a rural area, 1292 01:44:38.079 --> 01:44:41.439 you can damn near get it all paid for up till June thirtieth, 1293 01:44:42.039 --> 01:44:45.880 even make money, put money in your pocket for installing it. And then 1294 01:44:45.239 --> 01:44:50.239 after June thirtieth, after the application process is over, you can still get 1295 01:44:50.319 --> 01:44:54.720 up to what sixty five percent of it does sixty three percent or something? 1296 01:44:54.840 --> 01:44:57.760 Did you say, Brooke, Yeah, absolutely, sixty three percent. It 1297 01:44:57.920 --> 01:45:01.560 isn't tied to that grant program. Three percent goes to commercial businesses, forty 1298 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:10.439 percent to residential All right, this is a really good situation for solar if 1299 01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:15.439 you have any specific questions, and regular residential solar systems are still a good 1300 01:45:15.479 --> 01:45:19.359 deal as well, because you can get that extra ten percent tax credit to 1301 01:45:19.479 --> 01:45:25.079 make it a full forty percent if you deal with a company that uses by 1302 01:45:25.560 --> 01:45:29.600 all American products. Right, yep, absolutely, And that's something we never 1303 01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:33.000 hear about. We only hear about the thirty percent tax credit. So Red 1304 01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:39.279 Rocks can do forty percent tax credits. Patty, what's going on with you? 1305 01:45:39.439 --> 01:45:42.479 Hello? Patty, welcome to the show. What's going on? Hi? 1306 01:45:42.680 --> 01:45:45.760 How are you? That's what's happening with you? Crack down? I 1307 01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:53.079 know, crazy story. Okay. There's a cobbler. It's called Cobbler's Plus. 1308 01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:59.119 It was out of Denver, Colorado that was up and running for years 1309 01:45:59.159 --> 01:46:01.960 and years and years. The father must have passed away a year ago and 1310 01:46:02.119 --> 01:46:08.800 his son, Alan Trush Cops had taken over the father's business. I had 1311 01:46:09.159 --> 01:46:15.359 Loubaton heels that I needed protective bottoms put on, and like I said, 1312 01:46:15.399 --> 01:46:17.840 I've used them in the past. His father was amazing. I shipped the 1313 01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:27.079 shoes out one How did you know about cobblers Plus? So I had been 1314 01:46:27.680 --> 01:46:31.279 for a couple of years trying to find a really good cobbler for a more 1315 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:35.640 expensive shoe, and when I came across them a couple of years ago. 1316 01:46:36.039 --> 01:46:42.039 It had amazing ratings and his dad was fantastic. The quick turnaround time was 1317 01:46:42.119 --> 01:46:45.279 under two weeks. You would just purchase what you needed online, ship the 1318 01:46:45.319 --> 01:46:50.479 shoes out. And we'll give me an example. Does he do like is 1319 01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:55.199 he a regular cobbler or what we used to call shoemaker that would do everything 1320 01:46:55.399 --> 01:46:59.560 like souls, heels, Ye, whatever you needed exactly. Yep, that's 1321 01:46:59.600 --> 01:47:03.079 exactly what it is. He even does I think like jackets and purses and 1322 01:47:03.279 --> 01:47:06.159 zippers and things like that as well. I've never used them for that, 1323 01:47:06.399 --> 01:47:14.039 but just basically for and your your experience was you took some you you sent 1324 01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:17.920 them some expensive shoes. Yes, they were about a thousand dollars. Whoa 1325 01:47:19.239 --> 01:47:23.319 I know, And that's why I was getting the protective bottoms I tried to 1326 01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:26.920 do. You know how many pairs as sketchers you can buy for a thousand 1327 01:47:27.039 --> 01:47:30.159 dollars? Probably a thousand? No, No, what's to day? Whose 1328 01:47:30.199 --> 01:47:35.119 shoes are they yours? Okay, they're mine? They were lou Batons, 1329 01:47:35.960 --> 01:47:40.479 Louisaton, Okay, got it, well, not Louis Vauton. So there's 1330 01:47:40.600 --> 01:47:45.239 Christian Lubaton, Loubaton so there's Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I 1331 01:47:45.319 --> 01:47:49.039 didn't know this. I know there's like two names that are very similar. 1332 01:47:49.119 --> 01:47:55.399 But yes, they're lou Batons, which I love. But unfortunately, so 1333 01:47:55.479 --> 01:47:57.720 when I shipped them out, it was about a month later, and I 1334 01:47:57.760 --> 01:48:00.720 thought it was really weird because they're turnaround was about two weeks. Never heard 1335 01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:05.600 anything. I went to email him and the email kicked back. I went 1336 01:48:05.680 --> 01:48:13.119 to call the numbers. How much these shoes. These shoes were a thousand 1337 01:48:13.199 --> 01:48:18.439 bucks. They were purchased for a thousand They were given to me. Backstory, 1338 01:48:18.600 --> 01:48:23.880 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and they were given to me as my 1339 01:48:25.880 --> 01:48:28.840 kicking cancers. I don't know if I can say it on the radio. 1340 01:48:29.119 --> 01:48:35.520 If shoes they had these really cool gold studs all over the shoes and they 1341 01:48:35.560 --> 01:48:41.279 were a gift from my family. That is so nice. So they they're 1342 01:48:41.439 --> 01:48:45.680 very sentimental. So you sent them very sentimental, and now and now you 1343 01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:48.920 don't know where they are yep, And so when did you send them? 1344 01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:55.600 When did you send them? February February fourteenth, I sent them out. 1345 01:48:56.159 --> 01:49:00.279 He took his website down about two weeks ago when he realized that every everyone 1346 01:49:00.399 --> 01:49:03.720 was going on his Facebook page and sort of figuring out, like, Hey, 1347 01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:06.880 where is this guy? Where is Alan? What's happening to our shoes 1348 01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:12.960 there? Now the father's name was Alan, Now that the father's name was 1349 01:49:13.079 --> 01:49:20.640 Nikolai. For Nikolay, I was now dealing with Alan. Who was the 1350 01:49:20.760 --> 01:49:26.000 son? Alan E? Trush cough. He's in his thirties, and I, 1351 01:49:26.319 --> 01:49:29.079 it's funny. I started trying. We all did on Facebook. We 1352 01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:31.680 were trying to share information that we were looking up and finding. I had 1353 01:49:31.680 --> 01:49:36.239 gotten a hold of his mom a week ago and she answered she has a 1354 01:49:36.399 --> 01:49:41.520 very sick accent, and she kept saying my husband, my son took over 1355 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:45.479 because my husband died a year ago. He has everybody's items in a storage 1356 01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:50.439 unit. He's having money issues. And what's the son's first name? So 1357 01:49:50.600 --> 01:49:57.239 the son's name is Alan A L. L E N. Have you have 1358 01:49:57.399 --> 01:50:02.600 you heard uh since you talk to the mom when this was about a week 1359 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:09.600 ago. So is Alan making any attempt to return these shoes? You say 1360 01:50:09.720 --> 01:50:16.920 he's on you said he's on Facebook. He's on Facebook under what it's under 1361 01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:23.960 the cobblers plus it's a store front. But he's also so he's taken down 1362 01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:29.439 the website because we contacted, but he's still on Facebook. You know what, 1363 01:50:29.720 --> 01:50:32.199 I don't I think he has a Facebook or an Instagram. I'm not 1364 01:50:32.279 --> 01:50:36.800 on Instagram. And I think someone else mentioned he don't know, but he 1365 01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:43.279 doesn't answer. It's crazy to me that he and when I say, dozens 1366 01:50:43.359 --> 01:50:45.359 of people, if you went on his Facebook page, you would see all 1367 01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:49.640 these people saying he's had my stuff for months. He won't respond. We 1368 01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:53.159 don't know how to get a hold of them, and some like I said, 1369 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:57.520 mine are expensive, but it's more sentimental to me to get them back. 1370 01:50:59.560 --> 01:51:01.159 I at this point, we're all sort of out of loss. We 1371 01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:04.960 did get a hold of the Better Business Bureau. We all did that. 1372 01:51:05.319 --> 01:51:12.359 We're trying to put it out there so it raises red flags. We were 1373 01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:16.800 also told to report it to Attorney General of Colorado, which we have done, 1374 01:51:18.439 --> 01:51:25.159 but it's hard to reach him because of him shutting everything down. And 1375 01:51:25.239 --> 01:51:28.960 then there was well he probably is. He's probably overwhelmed. I mean, 1376 01:51:30.399 --> 01:51:34.319 yeah, I don't know, is exactly there is the location closed? YEP, 1377 01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:39.560 locations closed. Someone that lived out there that sent like three thousand dollars 1378 01:51:39.640 --> 01:51:42.800 worth of her shoes she drove by because she couldn't get an answer, and 1379 01:51:42.880 --> 01:51:45.319 there were people outside painting this door. I'm on the website right now, 1380 01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:51.279 and let's see the last post. Not the website. I'm on the December 1381 01:51:51.359 --> 01:51:58.800 twenty twenty three were their last posts. Then you have people talking about going 1382 01:51:58.880 --> 01:52:03.279 to the district to turn and all of that. Yep, everyone's trying to 1383 01:52:03.319 --> 01:52:08.920 get their items back. It's really I don't you know. My gut is 1384 01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:13.079 that this kid isn't a thief, but it says, you know, do 1385 01:52:13.239 --> 01:52:17.920 not send these thieves money or shoes. I think that he's probably just overwhelmed. 1386 01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:20.640 I dole. Then why doesn't he send the shoes back? Hey? 1387 01:52:20.720 --> 01:52:25.000 Tom, what I'm saying you have a sheriff. They've been in business for 1388 01:52:25.199 --> 01:52:30.039 years and years his dad. Yeah, can you have a sheriff go to 1389 01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:32.920 where he lives and have him make him take him to the swords unit so 1390 01:52:33.079 --> 01:52:35.920 these people can get this stuff back? Well, how do you know, 1391 01:52:36.159 --> 01:52:39.479 I mean, how do you know where the storage unit? Because it's well, 1392 01:52:40.159 --> 01:52:45.119 if if the sheriff confronts him, can the sheriff make he might have 1393 01:52:45.199 --> 01:52:48.399 sold all these shoes on eBay? Yep, that's what my husband was saying 1394 01:52:48.439 --> 01:52:53.079 too. I don't think, you know what, I don't get that feeling. 1395 01:52:53.159 --> 01:52:57.000 I get the feeling that the kid is a dupe. He doesn't know 1396 01:52:57.039 --> 01:53:00.840 what he's doing. Do you have a phone number for the mom? Oh? 1397 01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:03.720 Maybe for the mom. I just tried calling his How did you get 1398 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:09.119 his number? Just looking at different Yeah, that's what we have. We 1399 01:53:09.199 --> 01:53:11.840 have all different Yeah, we have the same thing. And I actually have 1400 01:53:11.880 --> 01:53:15.840 a phone number for a woman named Cassandra Davis that we believe is his wife, 1401 01:53:16.039 --> 01:53:20.039 and she will just send it straight to voicemail or so let it just 1402 01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:24.640 ring enough to go to voicemail, so we know it's an active number. 1403 01:53:24.720 --> 01:53:28.600 But she doesn't answer. But a lot of people are tossed and shade his 1404 01:53:28.800 --> 01:53:30.319 way. I'll tell you that they don't like him at all. Yeah, 1405 01:53:31.239 --> 01:53:35.199 no, they there's all kinds of he's being sued from the step mom. 1406 01:53:35.319 --> 01:53:40.000 We found all kinds of stuff online. The mother. Well, you mean, 1407 01:53:40.079 --> 01:53:44.760 so the woman we talked to is his step mom. I think it's 1408 01:53:44.800 --> 01:53:48.520 the mother, his actual mother. But the I think the father is getting 1409 01:53:48.600 --> 01:53:54.680 sued. Oh no, this is getting sued by a some type of insurance 1410 01:53:55.760 --> 01:54:00.880 agency. When you look up his name, he has he's being sued by 1411 01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:04.760 this woman who was an insurance agent, and she's saying she got screwed over 1412 01:54:04.920 --> 01:54:09.199 somehow through contract. They're getting in. They're getting a bunch of people, 1413 01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:15.840 it says. It says that they And by the way, the Attorney General 1414 01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:23.279 responded to these posts saying to file a complaint with them, right we did, 1415 01:54:24.119 --> 01:54:29.880 Yeah, yeah, we did, I know. I mean, this 1416 01:54:30.079 --> 01:54:34.560 is and it's actually we asked Denver police to reach him because there's an address 1417 01:54:34.640 --> 01:54:39.439 for him, and they told us that because it was a business matter, 1418 01:54:39.600 --> 01:54:43.800 it has to go through like a civil suit. That's so crazy, they 1419 01:54:43.920 --> 01:54:46.319 say that. So you send your TV into him to get it repaired and 1420 01:54:46.399 --> 01:54:50.560 he keeps your TV. That's not a criminal matter for some reason. Well 1421 01:54:50.680 --> 01:54:56.159 remember hold on, now, let's let's hold on. They sent him into 1422 01:54:56.279 --> 01:55:00.279 the dad who died. They didn't send him into the sun, right, 1423 01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:05.479 So this is you know, the father was gone. There was no you 1424 01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:11.239 know, mentioning of it that the father had cast. And what's even more 1425 01:55:11.319 --> 01:55:15.199 bizarre, when I went to send the shoes, he responded, of course 1426 01:55:15.359 --> 01:55:21.119 right away, to say send it to this address on something about a temporary 1427 01:55:21.199 --> 01:55:25.880 location. So we sent it to the address and Aurora, which was not 1428 01:55:26.119 --> 01:55:30.800 the store address, and when someone investigated that, they found out it was 1429 01:55:30.840 --> 01:55:33.800 a PO box at a UPS store in Aurora. Have you gotten in touch 1430 01:55:33.840 --> 01:55:38.880 with any of these other victims? Yes, I'm talking. I have a 1431 01:55:38.960 --> 01:55:45.000 couple that I've talked to pretty frequently on Facebook that we're all just trying to 1432 01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:47.560 help, you know, help each other out. Like we're not really sure 1433 01:55:47.600 --> 01:55:51.880 at this point what to do, but we do. We we do keep 1434 01:55:51.920 --> 01:55:57.680 in touch and if we find out something new, can they hire a PI 1435 01:55:57.840 --> 01:56:00.359 to find his ad find out where he is and serve him. I was 1436 01:56:00.439 --> 01:56:05.279 wondering if we I mean, I just don't understand why this guy, if 1437 01:56:05.319 --> 01:56:11.840 he has issues, wouldn't just make arrangements to return him because he might have 1438 01:56:12.000 --> 01:56:15.680 sold him on eBay. Mark, I think it would be more trouble to 1439 01:56:15.800 --> 01:56:19.800 sell them on eBay as it would to give him back. Except what about 1440 01:56:19.800 --> 01:56:25.760 if he makes money on eBay? Yeah? But okay, do you really 1441 01:56:25.920 --> 01:56:28.800 think that that's the whole deal? Maybe? Who knows? I mean, 1442 01:56:28.960 --> 01:56:32.600 well, then why would he just ghost everybody? Now you do? Okay? 1443 01:56:33.199 --> 01:56:35.880 We have to hold on. What we need to do is get as 1444 01:56:35.920 --> 01:56:41.680 many numbers as we can and put somebody on this to start tracking him down, 1445 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:47.000 and sus do we still have a PI that will do this? I 1446 01:56:47.079 --> 01:56:51.760 can check Tom, but I think this is going to be Patty. Let's 1447 01:56:51.800 --> 01:56:57.479 get as much information as possible, and Deputy Doc just start making phone calls. 1448 01:56:57.680 --> 01:57:02.680 I just watch that Patty is his mother, his actual mother? What 1449 01:57:02.960 --> 01:57:09.600 language does she speak? Do you know it sounded I want to say Russian 1450 01:57:09.680 --> 01:57:14.039 to me. She had a very very strong accent, very very kind, 1451 01:57:14.960 --> 01:57:17.399 almost like she didn't know what to do. She's like, you know what 1452 01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:24.159 if we got someone to translate for her, you think we can ask her 1453 01:57:24.199 --> 01:57:27.760 where he lives? Would she tell us? You know, we asked for 1454 01:57:28.039 --> 01:57:31.079 his phone number and she said he changes his number a lot. Get your 1455 01:57:31.239 --> 01:57:34.199 number? What about his ad bess? Did you ask her for that? 1456 01:57:34.880 --> 01:57:39.920 I do well the address I found online, which I don't know if he 1457 01:57:40.119 --> 01:57:45.600 is still there. This is the address I pulled online. It is don't 1458 01:57:45.640 --> 01:57:47.479 do it on the air yet. I don't want to get I don't want 1459 01:57:47.520 --> 01:57:50.640 to get people like riled against this guy yet until we know what's going on, 1460 01:57:50.760 --> 01:57:55.520 hold on and we'll come right back to more.

Who are you waiting on 1481 01:59:31.840 --> 01:59:42.760 payment from Cardinal amc asset? These property management companies that own apartment complexes that 1482 01:59:42.880 --> 01:59:48.039 we've been working for? Okay, and you can't. So we have two 1483 01:59:48.119 --> 01:59:53.279 issues. One, what do you do about yourself right now? Are you 1484 01:59:53.720 --> 02:00:00.239 is this a sole proprietorship or a corporation or what an LLC? So the 1485 02:00:01.119 --> 02:00:06.399 companies are the people coming after you? Did you take personal responsibility on the 1486 02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:12.680 debt or are they doing business only with the LLC? Only the LLC? 1487 02:00:13.439 --> 02:00:16.119 Are you positive? Like, give me an example of a big bill that's 1488 02:00:16.399 --> 02:00:23.239 weighing on you. Well, we're owed like twenty thousand dollars for turning units, 1489 02:00:23.880 --> 02:00:27.439 patch and repair paint flooring. No, I don't. I think you 1490 02:00:27.520 --> 02:00:30.520 misunderstood what I said. What I said was this the money you owe? 1491 02:00:33.119 --> 02:00:36.920 You're talking about a bankruptcy. You don't go bankrupt for people owing you money. 1492 02:00:38.199 --> 02:00:42.239 You go bankrupt for you owing money. So who do you owe money 1493 02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:47.359 to that you're concerned about that will come after you? Well, my employees. 1494 02:00:47.399 --> 02:00:50.880 I'm just trying to get my employees paid. Well, bankruptcy won't curials. 1495 02:00:50.920 --> 02:00:56.479 Okay, Okay, bankruptcy is not going to get you out of employee 1496 02:00:56.680 --> 02:01:00.399 debt. So it'll get you out of a big chunk of it. What 1497 02:01:00.520 --> 02:01:03.159 are you talking about, Mark, He can't get you out of the trust 1498 02:01:03.199 --> 02:01:06.319 fund? No, there's there's companies that go bankrupt all the time time that 1499 02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:11.560 can't meet payroll. The IRS will come after him for the IRs' share, 1500 02:01:11.640 --> 02:01:16.640 but that has nothing to do with the employees. The employees get first priority 1501 02:01:16.720 --> 02:01:21.920 in a bankruptcy period. So what I'm saying is is that it's not going 1502 02:01:23.039 --> 02:01:27.600 to be discharged. Okay, he might do a bankruptcy and if he has 1503 02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:30.920 no money, they can't make him get money. You're right, but they 1504 02:01:30.000 --> 02:01:34.159 do take priority. Taylor. I'm asking what your goal is. There's two 1505 02:01:34.239 --> 02:01:40.399 things you're calling about. One is collection and one is one is collection that 1506 02:01:40.520 --> 02:01:43.239 you want to collect from these companies. We might be able to help you 1507 02:01:43.399 --> 02:01:47.079 get someone to help you do that. The other one is getting out of 1508 02:01:47.680 --> 02:01:51.079 you know, getting the creditors off your back. So which one are you 1509 02:01:51.199 --> 02:01:58.199 calling about right now? Right now? Collections? Meaning you want to collect 1510 02:01:58.279 --> 02:02:02.119 from others? That is correct. I have than tens of thousands of dollars 1511 02:02:02.319 --> 02:02:05.720 still out. Okay, do you have? Are these debts? This is 1512 02:02:05.920 --> 02:02:13.159 really important. Are these debts that others will will they dispute them at all? 1513 02:02:14.880 --> 02:02:18.279 No? No? So why aren't they paying you? That's a pretty 1514 02:02:18.359 --> 02:02:24.520 obvious question. Why aren't they paying you? I have no idea. This 1515 02:02:24.680 --> 02:02:28.680 happens sometimes with AMC. We've we've waited longer. We're a net thirty coupanies. 1516 02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:36.479 Did you get that, Freddy? Okay, did you get the delay? 1517 02:02:38.039 --> 02:02:42.479 Yeah? We're good. Okay, he said a bad word, Taylor, 1518 02:02:43.960 --> 02:02:45.720 Taylor. We can help you, but you got it. You can't 1519 02:02:45.760 --> 02:02:50.439 say those words. And I can bring you back when the delay is up. 1520 02:02:50.520 --> 02:02:57.359 But here's the deal. Leans do a lot of good if you know 1521 02:02:57.439 --> 02:03:01.279 how to execute them properly. But it's too late now. Anyway, you 1522 02:03:01.479 --> 02:03:06.359 need to get a hold especially if you're if you're if you're owed thousands and 1523 02:03:06.439 --> 02:03:12.039 thousands of dollars, you need to get a good collection attorney. And we're 1524 02:03:12.079 --> 02:03:16.920 going to refer you to one. Okay. Meanwhile, these collection. I 1525 02:03:17.000 --> 02:03:20.920 mean, I can't believe that all of these manage would companies, all of 1526 02:03:21.039 --> 02:03:26.560 them have stiffed you. So let's bring them back up real quick here, 1527 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:31.119 Taylor. Why do you think they've stiffed you? Why? What do you 1528 02:03:31.239 --> 02:03:38.439 think's going on? Initially I thought because it was winter time and there weren't 1529 02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:41.159 a lot of move outs, so they were just, you know, kind 1530 02:03:41.159 --> 02:03:46.000 of saving their money or something. Somebody else, another small business provider, 1531 02:03:46.119 --> 02:03:50.039 said that they keep large sums of money in an account so they can crew 1532 02:03:50.159 --> 02:03:55.319 interest on it through the bank and you know, get more money that way 1533 02:03:55.520 --> 02:03:59.560 or something. Things that I just don't quite understand. When was the last 1534 02:03:59.680 --> 02:04:08.520 time you were how many different companies owe you money? Three and okay, 1535 02:04:09.000 --> 02:04:15.199 three companies, and they totaled how much, oh, at least at least 1536 02:04:15.680 --> 02:04:17.960 at least eighty thousand dollars right now. But the thing is they'll pay the 1537 02:04:18.119 --> 02:04:23.840 small they're paying their small cleaning fees, like I just got a check for 1538 02:04:23.880 --> 02:04:28.000 one hundred and twenty dollars for the cleaning fees that we did the last two 1539 02:04:28.039 --> 02:04:30.920 weeks. But they're not paying the larger ones. Where we turn the units, 1540 02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:33.239 we paint, the units, we do the drywall repair that are already 1541 02:04:33.319 --> 02:04:38.600 been done, and they're they're not paying those larger invoices they pay the No, 1542 02:04:38.720 --> 02:04:42.159 I get it, are they? But you don't think they would deny 1543 02:04:42.319 --> 02:04:46.840 those invoices if a collection attorney came after them. I do not think so, 1544 02:04:47.000 --> 02:04:50.960 especially because we have good relations with the property managers here locally that we 1545 02:04:51.359 --> 02:04:55.359 talk to, we see them face to pace. They always tell us it's 1546 02:04:55.399 --> 02:04:59.479 in processing, and it's it's in processing, and then they refer us to 1547 02:04:59.640 --> 02:05:03.359 their they're headquarters that are in like Texas or Arizona or someone like that, 1548 02:05:03.760 --> 02:05:08.640 and then they just give us the run around and send us the emails to 1549 02:05:09.000 --> 02:05:12.319 empty accounts, you know, deleted accounts and things like that, and then 1550 02:05:12.399 --> 02:05:16.520 they stop answering our phone calls. Yeah, these are these are ploys that 1551 02:05:16.920 --> 02:05:20.840 these guys are screwing with you. That's why you need you know who I'm 1552 02:05:20.920 --> 02:05:27.880 thinking, guys, I want to refer you to a really good collection attorney, 1553 02:05:28.039 --> 02:05:33.520 especially if we're talking eighty grand. That's substantial. No, I know, 1554 02:05:33.640 --> 02:05:38.920 And that's why I must have we must have missunderstood of each other initially 1555 02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:42.600 when she said the bankruptcy thing, But that's kind of what we're facing I 1556 02:05:42.640 --> 02:05:45.239 can't pay my truck, I can't pay no. I get it, I 1557 02:05:45.399 --> 02:05:48.159 get it. But right now, you don't want to go bankrupt right now. 1558 02:05:48.239 --> 02:05:54.039 What you want to do is you want to go after these people tooth 1559 02:05:54.079 --> 02:05:57.600 and nail. I have a feeling once you hire this collection attorney, I 1560 02:05:57.680 --> 02:06:01.640 have in mind, they're going to roll over. I'm serious. Now, 1561 02:06:01.720 --> 02:06:04.800 you can hire in a number of ways. You can do it on contingency, 1562 02:06:05.000 --> 02:06:08.840 or you can do it by the hour. I mean I would have 1563 02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:13.159 him first, just contact and write a letter and threaten him. When they 1564 02:06:13.239 --> 02:06:15.800 look this guy up, they're gonna know they have to pay. I really 1565 02:06:15.880 --> 02:06:19.920 believe it. He has a reputation in the industry. So hold on and 1566 02:06:20.039 --> 02:06:25.159 we'll make a referra. We'll make a referral. Okay, Okay, think 1567 02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:29.720 I really think you need this guy. Frank Ball is his name. The 1568 02:06:29.840 --> 02:06:32.039 reason I don't talk about it a lot on the air seat. He's really 1569 02:06:32.119 --> 02:06:39.840 not a consumer's attorney.

Three O three seven one 1578 02:07:24.079 --> 02:07:28.199 three talk. We have redrocksars dot Com with this Redrocks solar. We've been 1579 02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:30.840 talking about a lot of cool stuff there. But right now Frank's got a 1580 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:33.239 question about breaking a lease. Then we'll go back to red Rocks. Uh, 1581 02:07:33.520 --> 02:07:40.119 Frank, what's happening? Hello? Tom? Hey, what's going on? 1582 02:07:40.239 --> 02:07:43.720 Man? So I have a I have a quick question for you. 1583 02:07:45.000 --> 02:07:53.039 My son's girlfriends he lives, I mean, she lives with two other girls 1584 02:07:53.119 --> 02:08:01.600 in an apartment building Dayle's a bedroom apartment. And the problem they have is 1585 02:08:03.560 --> 02:08:09.199 she's been bullied by the two other roommates and so what she did is she 1586 02:08:09.399 --> 02:08:13.000 just moved out of the apartment. And are they all three on the lease. 1587 02:08:15.600 --> 02:08:20.680 Yes. Yeah, the three of them are on the lease. They're 1588 02:08:20.760 --> 02:08:26.159 all on the least all on the lease. They all got a little bit, 1589 02:08:26.560 --> 02:08:30.760 you know, to pay the lease together. Now, is there any 1590 02:08:30.840 --> 02:08:35.039 way that she can get out of the leaves because the other two roommates are 1591 02:08:35.119 --> 02:08:41.359 being bullying her? Only only if everyone agrees, including the landlord. Okay, 1592 02:08:43.159 --> 02:08:46.520 Now, hold on, there's a few. There's a few. I 1593 02:08:46.840 --> 02:08:52.800 shouldn't just say that that I but let me just say this. Most of 1594 02:08:52.960 --> 02:08:56.720 the time, when three go on a lease, all three are responsible for 1595 02:08:56.840 --> 02:09:01.319 the entire lease, each one of them. They don't divide Landlords don't usually 1596 02:09:01.439 --> 02:09:07.560 divide it into third third third obligations, okay, Which means if she wants 1597 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:11.079 to get out of it, she's going to have to get the permission of 1598 02:09:11.119 --> 02:09:15.119 the other two and of the landlord. They may say, no, you 1599 02:09:15.199 --> 02:09:18.640 don't get to get out because you owe a third of the money, And 1600 02:09:18.760 --> 02:09:22.399 the landlord might say I want three guaranteurs, not two. So it's going 1601 02:09:22.479 --> 02:09:26.079 to be difficult. The short answer is no, she can't just easily get 1602 02:09:26.119 --> 02:09:31.560 out of it. It's not easily. I mean, she's not living there, 1603 02:09:31.640 --> 02:09:35.239 she's been paying her her portion of the leaf. That's very nice that 1604 02:09:35.359 --> 02:09:45.600 she's still paying and legally she's responsible. No, the reason why she moved 1605 02:09:45.600 --> 02:09:48.159 there is I don't know of any laws that say if you have a good 1606 02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:50.279 reason to leave, you can leave and you don't have to pay me. 1607 02:09:54.840 --> 02:09:58.039 I mean, she wants to leave in the apartment, but the other two 1608 02:09:58.079 --> 02:10:01.760 are making her life difficulties. But you do understand that's a whole separate issue 1609 02:10:01.800 --> 02:10:05.439 from the lease. That has nothing to do with the lease. Now, 1610 02:10:05.479 --> 02:10:09.720 in other word, to get a restraining order, I believe that is one 1611 02:10:09.840 --> 02:10:16.600 thing you can break a lease with in Colorado. But Mark, if she 1612 02:10:16.840 --> 02:10:20.680 gets a first of all, it has to do with domestic violence, and 1613 02:10:20.199 --> 02:10:24.800 she would have to claim that she's there and she wants the other guy out, 1614 02:10:24.399 --> 02:10:28.920 and then they couldn't foreclose or they couldn't a victor for that. This 1615 02:10:30.159 --> 02:10:33.840 is a whole different ballgame. She would have to move in, do a 1616 02:10:33.960 --> 02:10:39.520 restraining order and get the other two girls out. But then if she forces 1617 02:10:39.600 --> 02:10:41.920 the other two girls out, those other two girls could say, we're not 1618 02:10:43.079 --> 02:10:46.279 paying. She told us we can't come there anymore. I mean, this 1619 02:10:46.359 --> 02:10:48.840 would be a big mess. So, Frank, restraining order is not the 1620 02:10:48.920 --> 02:10:56.520 answer. The answer is legally getting out of this, and that's not gonna 1621 02:10:56.560 --> 02:11:01.800 happen. Is is she let me ask you something? Is she going to 1622 02:11:03.800 --> 02:11:09.000 talk to them? Ever? Do they talk? Can you help? Can 1623 02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:15.680 somebody help? Can? I mean they should? These other two girls may 1624 02:11:15.800 --> 02:11:20.520 not want to pay the whole bill. Oh no, they don't. They 1625 02:11:20.560 --> 02:11:22.920 don't want to. Now what your daughter, what I mean, what your 1626 02:11:24.000 --> 02:11:28.640 friend can do is stop paying her share totally. Then here's the deal. 1627 02:11:28.760 --> 02:11:33.119 Here's I want to tell you something. The landlord will not come after just 1628 02:11:33.399 --> 02:11:39.279 her. The landlord can come after anyone. If she just stops paying her 1629 02:11:39.479 --> 02:11:46.399 third. Those other two girls would have to come after your daughter. It's 1630 02:11:46.560 --> 02:11:50.760 like it would be harder on them than it would be on her. I 1631 02:11:50.840 --> 02:11:56.079 don't do they have Here's the thing. If they don't have a separate agreement 1632 02:11:56.159 --> 02:12:01.520 with this girl, those other two girls have to use that lease and go 1633 02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:05.880 after her, claiming to be third beneficiaries of that contract. It would be 1634 02:12:05.039 --> 02:12:09.880 so complicated for them it would not be worth it for them. So here's 1635 02:12:09.960 --> 02:12:16.239 what would happen those other two girls if your if your friend did not keep 1636 02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:20.319 paying her share, those other two girls would have to get another roommate, 1637 02:12:20.039 --> 02:12:24.039 and it would take care of itself, or they would have to leave. 1638 02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:28.880 If they leave, then the landlord would have to come after all three of 1639 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:35.800 them. Thinks, I mean, there is no clean way out of it 1640 02:12:35.239 --> 02:12:41.560 unless everyone agrees. Yeah, I mean there are leaves. Is only like 1641 02:12:41.640 --> 02:12:46.920 four months more, you know, there's not going to be another year or 1642 02:12:46.000 --> 02:12:50.920 so. So what if she stopped paying her share? What would happen? 1643 02:12:52.600 --> 02:12:56.000 I mean, she's been paying six hundred dollars every month and she doesn't even 1644 02:12:56.079 --> 02:13:01.439 live in the apartment. I'm asking you what would happen if she stopped paying. 1645 02:13:03.399 --> 02:13:07.600 I think that the apartment building will will go after her, right, 1646 02:13:09.279 --> 02:13:11.920 No, they won't. The apartment building won't go after one of them. 1647 02:13:13.079 --> 02:13:16.319 The apartment building will go after all of them. Do you think the landlord's 1648 02:13:16.359 --> 02:13:20.880 gonna say home? The reason you two can't pay your rent is because they're 1649 02:13:20.920 --> 02:13:24.760 not gonna accept the two the rent from the other two and then say, 1650 02:13:24.840 --> 02:13:28.600 okay, we'll collect from that other girl. They're not gonna do it. 1651 02:13:28.079 --> 02:13:37.439 They're going to evict them. And then when they evict them, they're gonna 1652 02:13:37.560 --> 02:13:43.439 the landlord's gonna come after all three, okay, and the two girls cannot 1653 02:13:43.520 --> 02:13:46.159 sue her or go after her, Yes, they can't. They and then 1654 02:13:46.279 --> 02:13:50.960 she can go after them too. She can say she was forced to leave. 1655 02:13:50.319 --> 02:13:56.439 Look at it's a stupid mess. That's why young people shouldn't room together 1656 02:13:56.800 --> 02:14:01.880 without strict written agreements. They shouldn't. It's it's a it's a disaster. 1657 02:14:03.880 --> 02:14:11.600 But at this point, at this point, you know she's not going to 1658 02:14:11.680 --> 02:14:15.319 get out easily. Do you think those two but do they want to stay 1659 02:14:15.359 --> 02:14:20.439 in the apartment after this lease? Yes? I think so. Do you 1660 02:14:20.600 --> 02:14:28.600 think they would look for another roommate to take her place? Yeah? Probably, 1661 02:14:28.680 --> 02:14:30.760 I don't know. I don't know exactly the answer to that. Well, 1662 02:14:30.840 --> 02:14:35.039 somebody's going to have to start talking, because without talking, then you 1663 02:14:35.239 --> 02:14:41.279 just go to the end of the lease. Okay, all right, Okay, 1664 02:14:41.359 --> 02:14:43.079 that that that's going to be the best way to do it. I 1665 02:14:43.439 --> 02:14:48.279 don't know what else. I really don't know what else to do, because 1666 02:14:48.840 --> 02:14:52.760 it's a it's a freaking mess, and it usually is when you have young 1667 02:14:52.880 --> 02:15:01.439 people living together like that.

Yes, and there's 1684 02:16:24.880 --> 02:16:31.720 several tiles that are broken, but there are two areas where I have actually 1685 02:16:31.880 --> 02:16:37.319 roof leaps into the house.
