Speaker 6: If you're streaming the show, you just wondered, who's that
Speaker 6: ugly face I just brought up? That is my man,
Speaker 6: Peter Boyles. Peter Boyles joins me today in the Mothership
Speaker 6: home studio.
Speaker 7: Do you like it? Pete? Do you like what you're seeing?
Speaker 7: What do you think? Brother?
Speaker 8: This is the best. Have you ever done a video tour?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: I haven't done the video tour. But and we we
Speaker 6: have Deputy d Deputy Bow. We got Peter there, and
Speaker 6: Peter that Mike is covering your face just a little bit.
Speaker 6: It's the best we can do with okay anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's the good part is covering.
Speaker 7: So that's right.
Speaker 6: Three O three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 6: eight two five five. Is the Mothership open and on
Speaker 6: and accountable? Should I bring up the Mothership? Who's there?
Speaker 7: Mark?
Speaker 5: Nobody?
Speaker 8: Mark?
Speaker 9: Now we're all here, smart and myself. We've got two
Speaker 9: guys JFR cars join us.
Speaker 6: Yes here now, Oh guys, good now, JFR Cars.
Speaker 7: We have Bob with us from JFR up here.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I've been bugging Bob about I've been bugging Bob about
Speaker 6: leasing leasing cars little, I think, and I've come to
Speaker 6: believe financially, business wise and everything, as long as you
Speaker 6: don't go over miles or you don't turn in early,
Speaker 6: leasing is the best option anyone can ever do with
Speaker 6: a car, bar none. Mathematically, there is no downside whatsoever.
Speaker 6: When you lease the car, they guarantee to buy it
Speaker 6: back at a certain price. If it goes up in value,
Speaker 6: you can keep it and sell it, or just keep it.
Speaker 6: If it goes down in value, you turn it in
Speaker 6: and walk away. You're simply doing what you use I
Speaker 6: think the biggest problem people get into with a lease,
Speaker 6: The biggest problem One they don't keep the mileage, and
Speaker 6: two they want to turn it in early, and Bob,
Speaker 6: under those scenarios, if you do that, you're in bad shape.
Speaker 5: Isn't that true?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Most of the time.
Speaker 11: You know, what dealers like to do is put you
Speaker 11: in the lowest mileage lease and it gets you the
Speaker 11: lowest payment, and they don't talk to you about how
Speaker 11: many miles you drive.
Speaker 8: That's why they get in trouble.
Speaker 11: If you drive fifteen thousand miles a year, you should
Speaker 11: write a fifteen thousand miles a year lease and then
Speaker 11: you've got no issues at the end.
Speaker 9: Where does it not make sense? Like we drive twenty
Speaker 9: five thousand miles a year, so you can.
Speaker 8: Write leases at twenty five thousand miles a year.
Speaker 6: See Yeah, but now, now, Bob, does it still pay?
Speaker 6: Do high mileage leases still pay?
Speaker 12: Do?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 11: The biggest thing that makes a car depreciate is miles,
Speaker 11: so when you own that car, it depreciates just as fast.
Speaker 11: But the nice part about the lease is you've got
Speaker 11: an into it and you've got an out at the
Speaker 11: end of the lease. If the car's not worth the
Speaker 11: residual value at twenty five thousand miles per year, you
Speaker 11: still can give it back to them.
Speaker 8: So you have the upside potential out the downside risk.
Speaker 6: Absolutely Well, welcome one and all to the Troubleshooter Show
Speaker 6: and we'll be talking to Peter as we go on.
Speaker 6: And yeah, so what I want to do now is
Speaker 6: take Alberta, who was first up. She is the owner
Speaker 6: of a house and has a tenant issue. Now, Alberta,
Speaker 6: is this a room you're renting from your home where
Speaker 6: you live in it with the renter or is this
Speaker 6: a separate rental?
Speaker 10: No, this is my home. They live inside the a
Speaker 10: two bedroom here.
Speaker 7: And you're renting one of the bedrooms.
Speaker 10: I'm renting two of the bedrooms.
Speaker 7: Okay, but where do you live third bedroom?
Speaker 10: Yes, same same house.
Speaker 6: Stole one house, so you live in the same house
Speaker 6: with your two tenants.
Speaker 7: What's the issue, we're Alberta. What's the issue.
Speaker 13: Well, one of.
Speaker 10: Them is my son in law, and he didn't pay
Speaker 10: rent in October because of my hot water heater went out.
Speaker 10: It took me a minute to buy me a right.
Speaker 6: He's not allowed to. He's not allowed to withhold all his.
Speaker 7: Rent for that right.
Speaker 13: And so now this son in law, how is.
Speaker 6: This your son in law? By the way, how is
Speaker 6: this guy your son in law? Was he married to
Speaker 6: your daughter?
Speaker 10: He is married to my daughter.
Speaker 7: Is your daughter living there too, yes, sir, okay.
Speaker 6: So they rent a room together and they did not
Speaker 6: pay for October exactly.
Speaker 10: And then he texted me yesterday and told me because
Speaker 10: of the water heater that I purchased it was defective.
Speaker 10: That he's only going to pay me three hundred dollars
Speaker 10: for this for next month.
Speaker 6: Okay, hold on, but without further ado. Let's get Brad
Speaker 6: O'Brien on. Let's get Brat O'Brien on. I want to
Speaker 6: know what we can do. This is our attorney who
Speaker 6: does real estate. Hang on, Alberta, We're gonna get you
Speaker 6: some help. Three oh three seven one three. Talk Hailey,
Speaker 6: This seems to be rental kind of day, Hailey, what's
Speaker 6: going on with you? Hi?
Speaker 14: So I was roommating with my best friend of eighteen
Speaker 14: years and we ended up having a falling out and
Speaker 14: she ended up leaving and pretty much sticking me with
Speaker 14: the rent. And I live in downtown Denver, so you
Speaker 14: can imagine it's pretty expensive. So I was just trying
Speaker 14: to see like my options or what.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's talk about it. Here's let's talk about it
Speaker 6: one step at a time. First and foremost, were you
Speaker 6: both on the lease?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Now is the least writ that you're responsible? You both
Speaker 6: are responsible for all of it, or you're each responsible
Speaker 6: for half, So we are.
Speaker 14: Both responsible for hash.
Speaker 7: So let me ask you this. This is the real question.
Speaker 6: So your landlord broke that lease that you're each responsible
Speaker 6: for half, so when your friend moves out, you don't
Speaker 6: have to pay the other half.
Speaker 14: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 7: So why don't you just live there for half rent?
Speaker 7: Why would you want another roommate?
Speaker 14: Oh, I'm sorry, so I have to know I'm responsible
Speaker 14: for the full amount. She had fabricated a police report
Speaker 14: and presented them with that, and so they excuse her
Speaker 14: for the rent.
Speaker 6: No, the police, the police don't get this hold on
Speaker 6: the police don't get to excuse anyone for anything. The
Speaker 6: police aren't judges. Well, what do you mean that they
Speaker 6: excused her? Who excused her?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 14: The lead the reading all this when they presented the.
Speaker 6: False Okay, so, Hayley, what's your friend's name? What's your
Speaker 6: friend's name? First name?
Speaker 15: Kaylen? O?
Speaker 7: Friend's first name is what?
Speaker 10: Kaylan?
Speaker 7: Kaylin?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 7: Now did here's what I need to know?
Speaker 6: Caylin presented what kind of a police report was it
Speaker 6: against you?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 14: Allegedly, I haven't been well what happened was? She said
Speaker 14: that there was a restraining order. But I have not
Speaker 14: been served. It's been almost three weeks and I have
Speaker 14: not been served any kind of paperwork. I have no
Speaker 14: idea what's really even going on, And so they excused
Speaker 14: her without even really.
Speaker 6: Well, you keep saying, okay, they excused her, Okay, so
Speaker 6: did they then say? So they let her out of
Speaker 6: the lease, and now you're you're you're stuck with the
Speaker 6: whole lease. Well, guess what, you have a civil action again,
Speaker 6: kl Caylan can't just leave just because even if the
Speaker 6: landlord let her out of the lease, is she is
Speaker 6: she accusing you of assault or something?
Speaker 17: Yes, that that did not happen.
Speaker 6: Okay, you got a problem, Hailey. Does this landlord expect
Speaker 6: you to pay the whole thing?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 14: And my biggest issue comes with in the next last
Speaker 14: or yesterday, I received an email because at the beginning
Speaker 14: of the month she did pay her portion for April
Speaker 14: and I paid mine, but they had refunded her that.
Speaker 14: So I'm expected to pay not only her portion of
Speaker 14: May and June, but also I guess I have to
Speaker 14: pay aprils now and I just don't. That can't be
Speaker 14: legal in my life.
Speaker 5: I don't know why, Haley.
Speaker 7: Here's the thing.
Speaker 6: The landlord accepted a three way lease, okay, the two
Speaker 6: of you and him or her, So the fact that
Speaker 6: the landlord let that person out of the lease could
Speaker 6: be construed as a breach of contract.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure. Again, we'll ask Brad O'Brien and Brad.
Speaker 6: Is on right now. He's a real estate attorney. Brad,
Speaker 6: this is an odd one. I just want to run
Speaker 6: this by you first. Now, Hailey was renting with a friend,
Speaker 6: so it was Haley and Caylin.
Speaker 7: They were renting a room. They both signed the lease.
Speaker 6: The roommate Hailey's roommate, Kaylin, accused her and Hailey says falsely,
Speaker 6: but accused her of assault and wanted to move out.
Speaker 6: So the landlord let Caylan out of the lease. That
Speaker 6: in effect made Hailey responsible for the holease. My question
Speaker 6: to you, Brad, if the landlord signed a lease with
Speaker 6: two people and arbitrayer lets one of them off, aren't
Speaker 6: they in effect breaching the lease because they're putting an
Speaker 6: extra burden on that.
Speaker 7: Other person?
Speaker 6: I mean, how do you look at this If there
Speaker 6: was a three people on the lease, the two roommates,
Speaker 6: the landlord, then the landlord arbitrarily releases one of them
Speaker 6: and says, go ahead, you can leave. We're not going
Speaker 6: to hold you responsible and now they're going after Haley
Speaker 6: for the whole amount. How does that set with you?
Speaker 15: I have not revieated this lease, so I have to
Speaker 15: assume it's the typically drafted lease. And if landlords do
Speaker 15: like to get roommates on the same lease and make
Speaker 15: them joint and severally liable, that means that each tenant,
Speaker 15: each roommate is liable for the entire rent for both roommates.
Speaker 15: So even if one doesn't pay the other one, they
Speaker 15: can go out then can go after the other one
Speaker 15: for the full rent for both of them. Normally, typically
Speaker 15: after lease does not have any covenants or agreements between
Speaker 15: the two tenants, they would need their side.
Speaker 18: Agreement for something like this.
Speaker 15: So if the landlord lets one of the tenants off
Speaker 15: of a joint leads, I don't do that.
Speaker 18: I mean not having seen the lease.
Speaker 15: If there's anything particular about the situation, I don't do
Speaker 15: that as a breach in the contract.
Speaker 18: But a landlord at all for by the other tenant.
Speaker 6: Left way, they all be responsible for everything generally, right,
Speaker 6: Like our daughter lives with two other people, kind of
Speaker 6: like at a campus place where there's three different rooms,
Speaker 6: then there's a kitchen they all use and a family room.
Speaker 5: But they're all responsible.
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter if someone else moved out, Mark, No one's.
Speaker 6: No one's arguing that they are jointly and severally that
Speaker 6: they are responsible. She is, she is, She is obligated
Speaker 6: on the lease. But my question was, didn't the landlord
Speaker 6: have some obligation to keep both of them on the
Speaker 6: lease since eas side with both of them. Brad is saying, no,
Speaker 6: it's not a breach of the contract, and Haley is
Speaker 6: simply responsible for the whole thing. Now I don't understand.
Speaker 6: I just don't. So Haley can't afford it right now, so.
Speaker 9: Why Hey, that's exactly what I was saying. No, Tom,
Speaker 9: If if ten people rent a house from me and
Speaker 9: they're all students, and I use that because I've lived
Speaker 9: through it, each one is it is responsible, no matter
Speaker 9: what if everybody else moves out.
Speaker 6: No, nobody'sys Mark, nobody's disputing that.
Speaker 7: Nobody's disputing that.
Speaker 6: Nobody is disputing that Haley is responsible for the whole thing.
Speaker 6: No one disputes it. The point is she can't afford it.
Speaker 6: She's got to leave, and then the guy's gonna probably
Speaker 6: come after her for breach.
Speaker 7: What were you gonna say, Deputy d go ahead.
Speaker 16: The question for Brad is does the landlord have any
Speaker 16: duty to treat Haley the same way he treated her
Speaker 16: roommate and now offer her a chance to get out
Speaker 16: of the lease as well.
Speaker 18: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 19: She's the one that was doing the batter ring. Then
Speaker 19: why wasn't she kicked out and Kaylin left in?
Speaker 6: Because Kaylan probably knew she couldn't afford it on her own,
Speaker 6: and Kaylan was looking for an excuse.
Speaker 7: Kaylan was looking for an excuse.
Speaker 6: Brad, if if if she could prove, if Haley could
Speaker 6: prove that these accusations were false, would that do anything
Speaker 6: to the landlord's action that he let her out for
Speaker 6: safety reasons?
Speaker 18: I don't know.
Speaker 15: I mean the first place to look at the least
Speaker 15: and that that has language.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's not helpful for this color.
Speaker 18: But there's some.
Speaker 15: Nolan you could bring, like, uh, it's a breach of
Speaker 15: the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. You know,
Speaker 15: there's probably some vague kind of legal plan you could
Speaker 15: assert to get this into court, but.
Speaker 6: At this point, it which it's cheaper to pay the
Speaker 6: rent until she can leave Hailey under these circumstances. I
Speaker 6: need to ask this a very simple question. If you
Speaker 6: could find a place to live, will the landlord let you.
Speaker 7: Out of the lease?
Speaker 14: I expected to hey the remaining months, whether I leave
Speaker 14: earlier or not, unfortunately, And.
Speaker 7: When when is the lease up? When is the lease up?
Speaker 14: The lease is up in June, but it's it's a
Speaker 14: three thousand dollars a month of apartment, and so it's going.
Speaker 6: To be nine grand for you to see it through
Speaker 6: nine grand and you don't have it.
Speaker 7: Will he allow you to get another roommate?
Speaker 14: They I haven't really spoke to them about that, but
Speaker 14: there's nobody that I really like have that can move
Speaker 14: into just for two months. But I was just hoping
Speaker 14: if you guys had any like rental relief, if you
Speaker 14: guys knew anything like that at all, would be help.
Speaker 6: Well, No, Haley, you heard our attorney. You heard Brad O'Brien,
Speaker 6: a real estate attorney. He didn't see your lease, but
Speaker 6: he's saying, under most circumstances, you're responsible for the whole thing.
Speaker 6: Your roommates responsible for the whole thing. But the landlord
Speaker 6: released your roommate, which leaves you responsible for the whole thing.
Speaker 6: And really, unless you had a private agreement with your friend,
Speaker 6: you're stuck with the whole thing. That's the unfortunate truth.
Speaker 6: And if you can't pay it, the worst it's gonna
Speaker 6: happen is you're gonna be evicted and he's gonna probably
Speaker 6: try to come after you for the money. I'm Tom

Speaker 6: to be your dad or grandfather. He's fifty three, I'm
Speaker 6: seventy one. I'm old enough to be his dead, So
Speaker 6: you call me daddy from now on.
Speaker 8: Hey, I have underwear older than Mark Major. I get it.
Speaker 6: It's like I want to talk to Alberta because we
Speaker 6: do have our expert on Alberta.
Speaker 7: Let's talk to Brad O'Brien.
Speaker 6: Now, Brad, Alberta is renting to her daughter and son
Speaker 6: in law a room in her home. The son in
Speaker 6: law is arbitrarily withholding rent based on the hot water heater.
Speaker 6: They did not have hot water for a month. He
Speaker 6: withheld rent. She fixed the hot water heater. He doesn't
Speaker 6: like it, he said it's inadequate, so he's still withholding rent. Alberta,
Speaker 6: how much rent do they normally pay every month? If
Speaker 6: they were to pay the rent? How much is it?
Speaker 8: Six D.
Speaker 6: Six hundred? And how much have they withheld in total?
Speaker 6: Nine nine hundred? So they withheld one they would so
Speaker 6: they withheld one.
Speaker 7: Full month and half of the next. Is that right?
Speaker 6: Yes, So they're arbitrarily withholding rent based on the availability
Speaker 6: of hot water.
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 18: Yes?
Speaker 6: Brad? What do you think about that? What do you
Speaker 6: think about that?
Speaker 12: Well, I don't have a lease.
Speaker 4: Them.
Speaker 18: The warrants you've had.
Speaker 7: You don't have a written lease, is no go ahead.
Speaker 15: I mean the warrant to habit ability applies whether or
Speaker 15: not there's a lease. All tenants have the right to
Speaker 15: a habit premises for what they rent. So you know,
Speaker 15: the landlord has to provide habitable place, hot water, electricity,
Speaker 15: you know, those kind of things. And that is really
Speaker 15: separate from the payment of rent. So the tenant has
Speaker 15: to continue paying rent separate from the habitability concern, which
Speaker 15: they need to pursue separately and follow the steps.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're very hard to follow because most people can.
Speaker 6: And I did a video, by the way, I can
Speaker 6: plug right now. I did a video that's on YouTube
Speaker 6: and also on LinkedIn about how to do it properly,
Speaker 6: and I based that on Brad gave me some information
Speaker 6: and then he told me the law, and I went
Speaker 6: to the law and outlined some basic steps. But man,
Speaker 6: they can't just stop paying rent.
Speaker 7: Now. Can she start an eviction process? Brad?
Speaker 15: Yes, she can on non payment of rent. Of course,
Speaker 15: the lieutenant will counterclaim for breaching the warranty in habitability.
Speaker 15: All have to get worked out.
Speaker 9: Hey, Brad, can I just if I've got a double
Speaker 9: wide trailer sitting out in Watkins, Colorado? Can I rent
Speaker 9: it out to ten different people? I Mean, isn't there
Speaker 9: laws on what she can rent out or not. I mean,
Speaker 9: if she's just running rooms out, can I just simply
Speaker 9: rent out every room in my house and never have
Speaker 9: an issue?
Speaker 5: How does that work?
Speaker 18: Well?
Speaker 15: Law changed on this really last year where counties can't
Speaker 15: limit the number of occupants by family relationships.
Speaker 18: So that that's one thing.
Speaker 15: But there's a fire code which I do ultimate restrictions,
Speaker 15: so you can't have more people in a dwelling than
Speaker 15: fire code would allow.
Speaker 5: So if you've got twenty, okay, Brad?
Speaker 7: What about private?
Speaker 6: What about private hoas having rules on how many people
Speaker 6: can live, whether related or not? Are they are they
Speaker 6: usurped by local authorities?
Speaker 18: Well? I think it's new.
Speaker 15: I believe this new statute that said local jurisdictions cannot
Speaker 15: the occupancy of dwellings does apply to hias because they
Speaker 15: are quasi governmental bodies.
Speaker 18: They're not they're not strictly private.
Speaker 6: So the so h joys can no longer say only
Speaker 6: two parties unrelated, you know, only related parties, or only
Speaker 6: two unrelated parties.
Speaker 7: Or only three people.
Speaker 6: I mean, in other words, those HOA things are out
Speaker 6: out the window.
Speaker 15: I don't think no answers no, But I don't get
Speaker 15: joys were ever doing that putting those kind of restrictions.
Speaker 6: On, Oh yeah they were, I know, Hia's that would
Speaker 6: tell you how many could live in a home.
Speaker 15: No, but I think what I was getting to was
Speaker 15: the familiar familial relationships having like, okay, family in the
Speaker 15: same place, not strictly not.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, Yeah, years ago, years ago, I used a
Speaker 6: boiler plate hoa when I was developing subdivisions, and one
Speaker 6: of them had a clause in there that only that
Speaker 6: there could only be two unrelated parties in the house.
Speaker 6: And I, like, I said, that's probably illegal, probably cannot
Speaker 6: be enforced.
Speaker 7: But it was years and years ago.
Speaker 6: Brad O'Brien, you're a wealth of information, so Alberta, you're
Speaker 6: gonna have to start an eviction process unfortunately, okay, And
Speaker 6: don't try to do it alone if you don't know
Speaker 6: the steps, and then they're going to probably argue back.
Speaker 6: But this son in law sounds like a pain in
Speaker 6: the ass. How long has he been your son in law?
Speaker 10: Over six years? And he lives here and he just
Speaker 10: pays the six hundred. He didn't help me with the utilities,
Speaker 10: nor does he pick up his dog feces in the backyard,
Speaker 10: kick him.
Speaker 2: To the curb.
Speaker 7: I would get rid of them.
Speaker 6: Will will that cause a problem between you and your daughter?
Speaker 2: Daughter?
Speaker 6: To get rid of Will that cause a problem between
Speaker 6: you and your daughter?
Speaker 7: If you get rid of them?
Speaker 10: Yes, I won't get rid of my daughter because she
Speaker 10: has some severe medical issues.
Speaker 6: But well you you can't just evict him. They are
Speaker 6: they each renting one room? Or are they renting a
Speaker 6: room together?
Speaker 10: No, he rents one room, he pays the rent. It's
Speaker 10: for both of them.

Speaker 8: What is what is your preference?
Speaker 10: Oh? I wanted him to make up for the back rent,

Speaker 10: paying six hundred.
Speaker 8: Do you have a job difference? Does that make well?
Speaker 8: He does?
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, but Alberta has a huge show.
Speaker 6: So Brad, if Alberta wants to change the terms of
Speaker 6: the verbal or if she wants to make them sign

Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 22: Yeah, and exterminated the place too, and and thank you
Speaker 22: for letting us know.
Speaker 7: You know that, thank you.
Speaker 6: And he deserves and I'm going to pull out my

Speaker 6: I like using the dinger because if you don't use it, it

Speaker 2: Bo.
Speaker 7: You've you've probably.
Speaker 6: Visited a dozen and consumers by now and helping them
Speaker 6: out with problems.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 7: Three oh three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 6: I have a text on leasing a car, and they said,
Speaker 6: this is for Bob Perry with JFR cars. They want
Speaker 6: to know if they lease with high mileage, don't they
Speaker 6: pay more than if they lease with lower mileage. And
Speaker 6: of course the answer is yes, because you're you're leasing,
Speaker 6: you're paying four.
Speaker 7: What you're using is that right, Bob.
Speaker 8: That is correct.
Speaker 11: So when they determine the residual value at the end,
Speaker 11: it's determined based on how many miles are on the
Speaker 11: car and no more than average wear and tear. So
Speaker 11: if they drive more miles, it makes the car worthless,
Speaker 11: so of course the payment's going to be higher.
Speaker 9: You get hit big time too with diminished value. If
Speaker 9: you're in an accident, you go to turn it in
Speaker 9: and they're going to take ten twenty percent off the top.
Speaker 5: Nope, that's amazing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, if you have a bad car, fact, you can
Speaker 8: still return it.
Speaker 11: Wow, yep and still get the full residual Well, so
Speaker 11: I mean you're not gonna get built for the diminished value.
Speaker 11: So as long as you're in line with the miles
Speaker 11: and you don't have excessive wear and tear, yeah, you
Speaker 11: don't get builed.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 6: Another question if you do a low mileage lease and
Speaker 6: pay less and you go over is that does that
Speaker 6: take away the benefit of leasing?
Speaker 11: I mean not really, you're gonna so the only time
Speaker 11: you would pay excess mileage is if you go to
Speaker 11: the end of the lease, turn the car in and
Speaker 11: you're over miles. If you end up buying the car,
Speaker 11: doing something different with it's you don't get build mileage,
Speaker 11: so it doesn't necessarily take away have you.
Speaker 7: Ever had people good?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Does it take away the benefits?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: You know, you should try and be accurate.
Speaker 11: So usually when you write excess mileage up front, it's
Speaker 11: less per mile than they charge you at the end.
Speaker 11: So if you really feel like you're gonna drive more miles,
Speaker 11: you should do it up front.

Speaker 6: Welcome to the show. Sarah's got a problem with a
Speaker 6: landlord tenant issue here.
Speaker 7: So, Sarah, are you landlord or tenant?
Speaker 12: I'm the tenant.
Speaker 7: What's going on?
Speaker 5: It's like landlord day man or tenant day. Yeah.
Speaker 12: So I was in here for just this is a background.
Speaker 12: I wasn't here since April of last year. I finned
Speaker 12: it whatever, and I was intending to stay another year.
Speaker 12: And I've been asking her since if I could get
Speaker 12: a list renol and she hasn't reached out, and she's
Speaker 12: leaving me like not with any notice, and it's already passed.
Speaker 7: Okay, hold on, hold on, I need to ask some questions.
Speaker 6: You have been renting since last April? Yeah, so did
Speaker 6: you hit your one year anniversary?
Speaker 10: Yes, just about.
Speaker 12: And I've been waiting for her to give me a notice,
Speaker 12: and she finally has given me one, But she said
Speaker 12: that she's selling the property and that I would have
Speaker 12: forty five days to vacate.
Speaker 7: Do you know why she said she's selling the property.
Speaker 12: She says, you can't afford it, but she didn't give
Speaker 12: me this notice.
Speaker 6: No, No, here's what I'm saying, Sarah, here's what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: And it could be a ruse.
Speaker 7: I just want to say this.
Speaker 6: There is a new law that says if you're not
Speaker 6: going to renew a lease, you have to have just cause.
Speaker 6: There are certain outlines for just cause. One would be
Speaker 6: renovating the entire property. Another one would be you're selling
Speaker 6: the property. Now it could be, Sarah, here's all I'm saying.
Speaker 6: It could be she's not really selling the property. She
Speaker 6: just wants you out of there. Okay, So but it's
Speaker 6: not for me to say.
Speaker 7: You can let her know.
Speaker 6: You know about the law, and you want to make
Speaker 6: sure she truly is going to sell it.
Speaker 7: I mean, because that is your right.
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people are saying, Tom, a
Speaker 6: landlord should have a right to kick out anybody that
Speaker 6: want any time. Not in Colorado anymore. I'm sorry they've
Speaker 6: changed the laws. The laws are so so strong for
Speaker 6: tenants right now that if you've been there a year,
Speaker 6: she must give you a reason for you to leave.
Speaker 7: It has to be just that reason.
Speaker 9: I'm curious how that works with the sale part. I
Speaker 9: know for a fact if they are going to sell it,
Speaker 9: they can do it. But I mean, does that mean
Speaker 9: they have to list it? Do they have tire a realtor?
Speaker 9: And then how many days? This might be another good
Speaker 9: Brad O'Brien question.
Speaker 6: Can maybe let's try to get Brad O'Brien back on
Speaker 6: the air and answer that.
Speaker 9: Okay, so hold on, Sarah, We'll get an attorney. What
Speaker 9: apps if it is a route? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 9: sell it. But then she's just gonna rent it out

Speaker 6: with me. He stopped by the UH satellite studio and
Speaker 6: I get a I got this email saying, hey, Tom
Speaker 6: and Peter. Peter and Allen Berg were my introduction to
Speaker 6: talk radio. It was Peter's a change of tone that
Speaker 6: woke me up on nine to eleven and that made
Speaker 6: me turn.
Speaker 7: On the TV to see what was happening.
Speaker 6: I think it would be fun if you'd let Peter

Speaker 6: does think it's the Thanksgiving parade. He does, and he's
Speaker 6: she said she loves that, or he said it's Kim.

Speaker 21: and they said, oh.
Speaker 8: No, that happened.
Speaker 6: Kim calling the show and tell us what you're talking about.
Speaker 6: Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three.
Speaker 21: H remember after how much of the I mean, your
Speaker 21: early days. I remember when you came to Channel four.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so Peter, Peter, you were on
Speaker 6: the air, and Alan Berg was on the air, and
Speaker 6: you were doing radio, and I was a guest on
Speaker 6: Alan's show a lot.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: And then when Alan was killed, I filled in for him,
Speaker 6: and that's how I got my show and but got Jesus.
Speaker 8: That was forty years ago.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and you know, we've seen all kinds of
Speaker 6: documentaries about that.
Speaker 7: But we were there that night it happened.
Speaker 6: We were at we all gathered at the station, and uh,
Speaker 6: it was unbelievable, horrible, unbelievable.
Speaker 7: We couldn't believe it happened. That there's now a film.
Speaker 21: They've taken Kevin and Kevin Flynn and Gary gerhard Spoken
Speaker 21: and made this film that's now.
Speaker 8: I came through Denver and I went and saw it.
Speaker 8: And what is it called? Come on kid?
Speaker 7: Is it the Order?
Speaker 18: Well?
Speaker 8: What the original book?
Speaker 21: Yeah, the Silent Brothers, but they've called it something else.
Speaker 8: Now, Okay, they've retitled it. But I went with ken.
Speaker 8: Was it a good movie? I you know, I'm not
Speaker 8: a good judge of it because.
Speaker 6: Because we knew, because we knew Alan on a personal level,
Speaker 6: and he was nothing but that people thought he was.
Speaker 21: And I knew the truth on how and why he
Speaker 21: was killed. But yeah, you know, remove that part of it.
Speaker 21: I don't know, because I I testified against those men,
Speaker 21: but I didn't. I didn't know them, man, exactly. The
Speaker 21: great work was done by Kevin and Gary. But you know,
Speaker 21: there they are, and there they were, and now they're
Speaker 21: back again.
Speaker 6: So it's like a Stephen King when you say they're
Speaker 6: back again under what form I think.
Speaker 21: I think it's something that Stephen King's monsters. And this
Speaker 21: takes a second, but Stephen King's monsters don't die when
Speaker 21: you and I are growing up, the little kids, and
Speaker 21: Frankenstein would die in the windmill where somebody would kill
Speaker 21: Dracula or somebody put the bullet in the when the werewolf.
Speaker 21: If you're and I actually had that experience with Stephen King.
Speaker 21: His stuff never dies. His stuff reappears in the next book,
Speaker 21: or the next book, or the next.
Speaker 8: No, I get what you mean. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 8: that that's much of what this.
Speaker 6: So you're saying the white supremacists never die, of course,
Speaker 6: there's always they always reincarnate into some other group, or.
Speaker 21: You see him again in another shape or another thing,
Speaker 21: I mean, somebody else.
Speaker 8: And it's and it's if, as.
Speaker 21: You said seconds ago, if you'd have really known the
Speaker 21: guy it was, he wasn't.
Speaker 16: Who's you said something interesting just a couple of minutes ago,
Speaker 16: you said, you said that you know the truth about
Speaker 16: that murder. So I inferred from that that the truth
Speaker 16: you know must different. I'm all in contradiction to what
Speaker 16: history recorded.
Speaker 8: No, actually it's been recorded. I wrote okay.
Speaker 21: On the fortieth anniversary of his murder, I wrote a
Speaker 21: very lengthy piece for the Denver Post about exactly what
Speaker 21: happened and the way that you know the book and
Speaker 21: it has nothing to do with with Gary and Kevin,
Speaker 21: because they knew the truth, but he was killed.
Speaker 8: There was a there was a newspaper.
Speaker 5: You got a second for this, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 21: It was called the Primrose and Cattleman's Gazette. And KOA,
Speaker 21: the call letters of KOA stand for King of Agriculture,
Speaker 21: and when call letters used to be designations from from
Speaker 21: the Roosevelt administration, and.
Speaker 7: And KOA was big in agriculture.
Speaker 6: And we had remember Evan Slack and sure and that's that,
Speaker 6: and the Farm Reports and the Cattle.
Speaker 21: Report absolutely and WWLS Chicago is the world's largest store
Speaker 21: because Sears put them on the air, and so the
Speaker 21: call letters had meaning. And so we got all the
Speaker 21: little newspapers agrib papers from all over the state. And
Speaker 21: we had a small tiny office. You bring got in
Speaker 21: a million times in book, and it was it was
Speaker 21: crandall myself all the time. Tommy came over and Allen
Speaker 21: and we were right below the There was two studios.
Speaker 21: They were on steps. And so I'm sitting here reading
Speaker 21: the newspapers and I come across the Primrose and Cattleman's
Speaker 21: Gazette and they had published the protocols of the Elders
Speaker 21: of Zion and it was the Tzar had secret police
Speaker 21: named the Okrana, and the Okrana published these to be
Speaker 21: used as weapons and programs. Not the Romanov who was
Speaker 21: killed in the end, but his father did this. And
Speaker 21: so this, this articles appear in the Primrose and Cattleman
Speaker 21: the Gazette. So I said to to Larry, I said,
Speaker 21: Conda wants to do the show on a flu and we.
Speaker 8: Did a new an hour. I think you were part
Speaker 8: of that end of one hour.
Speaker 21: Yeah, and Alan would come in on the tail and
Speaker 21: then take it to the top.
Speaker 7: Pass the ball and these people were crazy.
Speaker 21: So I'm I get the guy to come on the air,
Speaker 21: and I'm starting to say did you pay for this?
Speaker 21: And yes, and I said I could have had it
Speaker 21: for free. It's in public domain. And we went on
Speaker 21: and on and on about I said, the whole thing's fabrication.
Speaker 21: So at that moment Berg comes in and gives me
Speaker 21: to tap right. He said, I want this guy, and
Speaker 21: I said and I said to him, And I said
Speaker 21: to and.
Speaker 7: This guy wasn't the actual author.
Speaker 8: He went, no, no, no, no, there was. He was
Speaker 8: promoting it. It was the Okrana had written it, you know.
Speaker 8: And there was.
Speaker 21: A guy they had, a guy, so Jack Moore and
Speaker 21: blamed that he had written it or so berg ate
Speaker 21: him up.
Speaker 8: I was saying, well what about this? And what about that?
Speaker 21: And and then so I'm done with the show, and
Speaker 21: I went on and I started going through other Primrose
Speaker 21: gazettes and I find all of this stuff.
Speaker 8: So Patricia call Patricia Callen Patricius.
Speaker 21: Wrote her was our first congressman, congresswoman and she was
Speaker 21: also the head of Armed Services.
Speaker 8: So I called her and I.
Speaker 5: Said, what are you doing with this?
Speaker 21: You're you're you're putting ads in for the Marine Corps
Speaker 21: and the Air Force and recruitment.
Speaker 8: She yanked the ads.
Speaker 21: So he sued Alan myself and General Electric and KOA Radio,
Speaker 21: the newspaper publishers, yeah, a guy named Rick Elliott.
Speaker 6: Because they were they were publishing like unbelievable stuff.
Speaker 8: And by anisomitic and at the time when and they.
Speaker 7: Had a right to do it.
Speaker 6: But but Alan, Alan really Peter got him on and
Speaker 6: Alan really dressed him really.
Speaker 21: And then we had full circle where what we didn't
Speaker 21: know and what listening in the other room to Rick
Speaker 21: Elliott and myself and then Rick and Allen was a guy.
Speaker 8: Named David Lane.
Speaker 6: Then David Lane starts contacts this guy. They start having
Speaker 6: secret meetings and.
Speaker 8: He drove the car all night. They killed him.
Speaker 6: They had secrets. How are we going to kill this guy? Well,
Speaker 6: how are we going to kill him? I don't think
Speaker 6: they totally made the decision to kill him. Well until
Speaker 6: Berg gets moved.
Speaker 21: The Knights, which I always thought was a mistake. And
Speaker 21: now on KOA at night, you can get it in
Speaker 21: your teeth.
Speaker 8: I mean you can get.
Speaker 21: All over the country. And they live in Montana. They're
Speaker 21: up in Montana. They're in a place called Hayden Wake,
Speaker 21: and they have a secret club boys club within this
Speaker 21: club of white supremacy called the brutu Schweigen German for
Speaker 21: the Silent Brothers.
Speaker 8: And so they get.
Speaker 21: Their Richard Butler was their spiritual head, and their their
Speaker 21: alleged academician is this guy Jack Moore. Well Burg gets
Speaker 21: them both on on one night and just goes to town.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so Berg was there Arch enemy. So, Peter, I'm
Speaker 6: want to know something. Where's David Lane? Now?
Speaker 5: Is he dead?
Speaker 8: He's dead?
Speaker 5: Was he in prison?
Speaker 8: Yes? Yeah, they were.
Speaker 6: They were convicted of conspiracy, murder, conspiracy, right.
Speaker 21: No one ever was No one was ever or tried
Speaker 21: for the murder of Alan Berg?
Speaker 7: What was it was?
Speaker 5: For other things?
Speaker 21: Well, the first time when we went to Seattle and
Speaker 21: we got we got it was a Rico trial racketeering
Speaker 21: and corrupt organizations. And we went on a Rico trial,
Speaker 21: and Allan's murder was like number forty six or forty
Speaker 21: seven of the counts of Rico.
Speaker 8: And so the one Robert J. Matthews was dead, he
Speaker 8: died in Whibley Island, But the rest of them was
Speaker 8: the exception of a guy named Richard Scatari. Richard's Gaitari was.
Speaker 6: Still Do you think the roots these guys planted do
Speaker 6: you think they're still giving fruit in others?
Speaker 21: Do you think that I don't think the roots that
Speaker 21: these guys did because or just new ones, just new
Speaker 21: one guys took their place, just new ones.
Speaker 7: They keep coming back.
Speaker 6: Listen, we'll get to your calls right after this. And
Speaker 6: I want to get Brad O'Brien on about this Sarah's
Speaker 6: problem because I don't really know the answer to this.
Speaker 6: She's been renting since last April. The landlord gave notice
Speaker 6: she's selling the place. And Mark brought up a good point,
Speaker 6: what if they're lying about it?
Speaker 7: How do you know?
Speaker 6: Can you ask for proof? I mean, this goes into
Speaker 6: a lot of different things. And quickly before I go
Speaker 6: to break Rod Greer, we have a from JFAR Cars.
Speaker 6: Someone wants to know about consigning a vehicle. They're not
Speaker 6: talking about Jfar. They said that they were told that
Speaker 6: another dealer does consignments, and I told them to hold
Speaker 6: off Rod. When you do a consignment on a vehicle
Speaker 6: to sell it, does it have to remain at JFR
Speaker 6: Cars while it is on.
Speaker 7: While it's on for sale?
Speaker 8: It doesn't have to be.
Speaker 23: But it's so much nicer than it is because we're
Speaker 23: now a fifty five.
Speaker 6: What are the fees for consigning a vehicle? What are
Speaker 6: the fees? Do you take a percentage of the sale?
Speaker 23: We take a percentage of the sale or a flat
Speaker 23: twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars and that's the best.
Speaker 6: And who decides the flat fee or the commission? Who
Speaker 6: decides that.
Speaker 23: It's in our contract, and I decide you and we
Speaker 23: can decide and work with the customer if the car
Speaker 23: is worth Let's just say, if the car is eight
Speaker 23: thousand dollars, we're not going to do eight percent. We're
Speaker 23: going to do a flat you know what I mean.
Speaker 23: So try to try to help the customer and our
Speaker 23: and just to make sure we make a little bit
Speaker 23: on the deal as well.
Speaker 6: But most of the time when people can sign a vehicle,
Speaker 6: do they owe money on it.
Speaker 23: Most of the time they don't. But we have done that.

Speaker 6: big real estate day today, a lot of questions. Brad

Speaker 5: Three eighty eight.
Speaker 6: Sarah got a notice after renting a year that she
Speaker 6: has to be out in how many days, Sarah?
Speaker 10: She told me five?
Speaker 6: And she says she's selling the house now. I suspect
Speaker 6: she said we're selling the house.
Speaker 5: You need to leave.
Speaker 6: I suspect the landlord did that for Possibly she really
Speaker 6: is selling the house, or she knows she has to
Speaker 6: come up with a just cause. So Mark Major had
Speaker 6: a point, how do you know if they're really selling
Speaker 6: the house, Brad? And can you do anything about it.
Speaker 6: Can you ask for proof? And if she doesn't end
Speaker 6: up selling the house, do you have any recourse?
Speaker 7: Brad?
Speaker 15: Okay, Well, this just caused lease termination statute where if
Speaker 15: someone the tenant's been there for a year, then the
Speaker 15: landman has to give ninety days notice that they're not
Speaker 15: going to renew the lease.
Speaker 18: And in one of the reasons, and.
Speaker 15: They have to have a good just cause one a reason.
Speaker 18: One of the reasons is they want to sell.
Speaker 15: And if they sell, then the landlord after the tenancy
Speaker 15: is over, the landlord cannot lease it or list it
Speaker 15: for sale or lease for thirty days after that then
Speaker 15: they can just do whatever they want with the property.
Speaker 6: Okay, So if they break the look, wait a minute,
Speaker 6: they can get you.
Speaker 7: Are you saying, Brad?
Speaker 6: They can get you out of there on a ruse
Speaker 6: And as long as they keep it vacant for thirty days,
Speaker 6: they'll be clear the vacant.
Speaker 15: The way the statute is written, they don't have to
Speaker 15: keep it vacant. It just says they cannot list it
Speaker 15: for sale or rent for the thirty days after.
Speaker 6: So if I want to sell my place and I
Speaker 6: evict someone and they leave, I have to keep it
Speaker 6: for thirty days before I can list it.
Speaker 9: Right, Well, what MS if you already had some wonder
Speaker 9: why I lined up Brad? In other words, you know,
Speaker 9: let's say, hey, I know someone that's gonna rent it
Speaker 9: from me, So I tell the lady or whoever it is,
Speaker 9: I'm going to sell the place. I don't list it
Speaker 9: because I already have another tenant coming in and then
Speaker 9: they move in thirty days.
Speaker 5: I mean everything's cool then, right.
Speaker 18: Yes, that's how you can gain the statute.
Speaker 6: Okay, Oh I did not realize you can get around
Speaker 6: the statute that way. It's like every law, wow, every
Speaker 6: liberal law. So did you get ninety days notice?
Speaker 5: Sarah?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 12: No, I did not. That's why I was calling because.
Speaker 6: I've how much notice? Did you get forty five days?
Speaker 6: Was it basically the forty five day notice?
Speaker 12: So she told me that here's the situation. She came in,
Speaker 12: was telling me that we're going to have a look
Speaker 12: at the house, and she tricked me saying that she
Speaker 12: was going to come to my house today to sign
Speaker 12: a brand new lease. And then she gave me this paper.
Speaker 12: And it doesn't seem like it's from the quarter. It's
Speaker 12: just something that she'd written down for me to sign,
Speaker 12: and it's saying that she's gonna list it, list it
Speaker 12: to sale, and that when it's on, when it's sold,
Speaker 12: she's going to give us forty five days to leave.
Speaker 12: But I'm like, that's not a ninety day notice because
Speaker 12: I don't know when that's going to happen.
Speaker 7: Well, it could saying that.
Speaker 6: It could be it could be a ninety day notice.
Speaker 6: I mean, it could be a ninety day notice if
Speaker 6: she says once it sells, she's giving you forty five days.
Speaker 15: Hey, Tyl, I need to make a correct Brad. Go ahead, Brad,
Speaker 15: I'm sorry. I said it was the thirty days keeping
Speaker 15: it off the market after the Tennessee is over. Actually
Speaker 15: it's ninety days. I looked up the statute as us
Speaker 15: on this conference. Oh wow, they have to keep it
Speaker 15: off the market for ninety days. But after ninety days
Speaker 15: and the land when they can do whatever they want.
Speaker 15: They can even re rent it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: So it's really.
Speaker 6: Sad if you but if they if I wanted to
Speaker 6: sell it, Brad, if I wanted to sell it, I
Speaker 6: could not sell it within ninety days.
Speaker 5: No, you could sell it.
Speaker 15: You could list it for sale immediately. You cannot listen it.
Speaker 18: For rental.
Speaker 7: Okay, got it?
Speaker 8: Got it?
Speaker 6: So that's to keep people from getting someone out for
Speaker 6: their friend to move in, because they'd have to suffer
Speaker 6: ninety days no rent. Well, actually I hate if you
Speaker 6: really hate the tenant, Brad, are you saying I really
Speaker 6: if you just looked up to statue, tell me this
Speaker 6: is it saying you just can't list it or you
Speaker 6: can't rent it.
Speaker 18: List it, you can re rent it right away, So
Speaker 18: you could.
Speaker 9: Rerent it to somebody else right away, Tom and not
Speaker 9: wait ninety days.
Speaker 5: You simply can't list it for rent.
Speaker 18: Yep.
Speaker 7: So really, the the law doesn't have any teeth.
Speaker 5: So you're telling one of these things that sounds good, right,
Speaker 5: that's a big we didn't know, big man.
Speaker 7: The law says you have to give just cause.
Speaker 6: But if you don't give just cause, you can just
Speaker 6: rent it out again.
Speaker 5: You just can't list it. And then if you do.
Speaker 7: But Brad, what hold on?
Speaker 24: Now?
Speaker 7: I know where it comes into play. Brad.
Speaker 6: Let's say I ask my tenant to leave, and in
Speaker 6: my mind I have someone lined up to take the place.
Speaker 7: I tell the tenant I'm going to.
Speaker 6: Sell it or I'm going to renovate it you need
Speaker 6: to leave, and the tenant doesn't believe me and they
Speaker 6: don't leave, and I want to go through the eviction
Speaker 6: under that circumstance, then it would have to be a
Speaker 6: real renovation or a real sale, right, I mean, because
Speaker 6: then you'd be in court.
Speaker 7: Go ahead.
Speaker 15: Yeah, with renovation you have to prove it. So renovation
Speaker 15: is another one of these just cause reasons to try
Speaker 15: to not renew somebody. When you're using the renovation reason,
Speaker 15: you actually do have to prove up your plans.
Speaker 18: And that's a.
Speaker 15: Tricky one to use because if depending on the length
Speaker 15: of length of the rehab, the tenant gets the first
Speaker 15: red of refusal to come back.
Speaker 9: If so, you want to lose the sale option. If
Speaker 9: you're trying to get rid of somebody.
Speaker 15: Yes, the sale was the best one because you can
Speaker 15: now it's not any old ninety days.
Speaker 18: It has to be the night. It has to be
Speaker 18: in line with the end of the least term.
Speaker 15: So if she's on a one year least term the.
Speaker 7: Leonard Sorry, if you didn't give me it's at the
Speaker 7: end of the lease.
Speaker 5: She gets ninety days.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it has to be back down the end of
Speaker 15: the lease.
Speaker 18: The end of the lease. Right, It's not just like
Speaker 18: ninety days in the.
Speaker 6: Mid Sarah, Sarah, when exactly does your lease end?
Speaker 12: It's literally ending within the next few days. That's what
Speaker 12: I was saying, was she supposed to get ninety days
Speaker 12: before because this is not right. She tricked me saying
Speaker 12: that she was going to resign the lease, and then
Speaker 12: she wrong. This paper here had me thinking that we
Speaker 12: were going to receive it and then change her mind.
Speaker 6: But Brad, here's the thing. Let's say, hold on, Sarah.
Speaker 6: Let's say she did not get ninety days notice from
Speaker 6: the end of the lease, which she didn't. Can she
Speaker 6: give her ninety days notice from now?
Speaker 15: Yes, but it'll be effective April thirtieth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 15: Because assuming that you're following here, renews next week, you know,
Speaker 15: May first, I assume it is she has the.
Speaker 18: Right to renew, yeh.
Speaker 6: But if she doesn't renew the lease, I guess I'm
Speaker 6: saying this. If the landlord comes to Sarah and says, Sarah,
Speaker 6: I'm going to sell the house. I'll rent you month
Speaker 6: to month, can't they just do that? Well?
Speaker 15: Yes, if it goes month to month starting May first,
Speaker 15: then the landlord still has to give ninety days, but
Speaker 15: they can get ninety days right away and it'll be
Speaker 15: effect her three months later.
Speaker 6: Okay, got it. Okay, that's what I wanted to know. So, Sarah, basically,
Speaker 6: I really think you should look for another place to live,
Speaker 6: is what I'm thinking. I mean, yeah, because the landlord
Speaker 6: can get they can get rid of you unless you
Speaker 6: want to do a month to month with a ninety
Speaker 6: days notice. I mean, tell her, tell her you're willing
Speaker 6: to do months a month until you find a place.
Speaker 6: I mean, if she has it up for sale, she
Speaker 6: shouldn't mind that.
Speaker 12: What she's saying is that she doesn't know when it's
Speaker 12: gonna She said she hasn't.
Speaker 25: Got gave us an adequate notice.
Speaker 12: She's saying that basically it could be like full tomorrow.
Speaker 12: I don't know how long she's put it on the market.
Speaker 12: And then she's saying that when.
Speaker 25: She knows, I have forty five days to leave.
Speaker 12: So I don't know when she doesn't know either. She
Speaker 12: just brung this here like it's a retaliation because.
Speaker 7: Well, she's going about it the wrong way.
Speaker 5: What she gets ninety days from what I'm understanding, right.
Speaker 15: Yeah, but if she renews for another year, starting in
Speaker 15: May first.
Speaker 18: Then she's locked in for another year.
Speaker 7: But they're not renewing. They're not renewing.
Speaker 6: What they're saying to her is we don't This is
Speaker 6: what they're saying, Sarah, we don't know when this is
Speaker 6: gonna sell, but we're happy to rent to you until
Speaker 6: it sells. And when we sell it, we'll give you
Speaker 6: forty five days. Isn't that what they're saying to you, Sarah?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 15: Well, but Sarah, okay, right to renew next week for
Speaker 15: another year?
Speaker 2: She does.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So how does she do that, Brad?
Speaker 18: She demands a new lease, Simple.
Speaker 9: As that, because she wasn't given the proper notice. Right,
Speaker 9: you need to demand a new lease. Then, even if
Speaker 9: she does sell. Listen, even if she does sell the house,
Speaker 9: the new owner of the house has to abide by
Speaker 9: that lease, right, Brad, Yes, and then that person would
Speaker 9: have to give you ninety days next year. I agree
Speaker 9: with what Sarah is saying. They're trying to tricker in
Speaker 9: getting out of there.
Speaker 6: Oh, so they screwed up. And because they screwed up,
Speaker 6: Sarah has a right right now because she didn't get
Speaker 6: the notice, she has a to renew for a year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she can demand the lease.
Speaker 9: But now, Brad, if the landlord says, well, I'm just
Speaker 9: simply not going to give you one, then what's her
Speaker 9: next step?
Speaker 15: Well, i'd write, haven't attorney write a letter? Or she
Speaker 15: can write a letter dating what her position, and then
Speaker 15: if it goes to court, then I think that she's
Speaker 15: got a.
Speaker 7: Great case, Sarah.
Speaker 6: You know what, I didn't realize this, Sarah, but you
Speaker 6: do have a right to renew. According to Brad, you
Speaker 6: might want to give him a call off the air
Speaker 6: or call someone. I wouldn't recommend you navigate this alone,
Speaker 6: but you have a right because you didn't get that
Speaker 6: ninety day notice, you have a right now to renew
Speaker 6: for a year. And I think that what Mark said
Speaker 6: and what Brad said, she's trying to trick you right
Speaker 6: now and to signing something.
Speaker 9: Hey Brad, just reality here, reality check real quick. If
Speaker 9: she sends you over the lease just a eyeball and
Speaker 9: then wants you to write a letter to this lady,
Speaker 9: I mean, what is she looking at there? A few
Speaker 9: hundred bucks? What I mean, how does that look? Not
Speaker 9: going to court? I'm just saying, for what we're talking about,
Speaker 9: this first step, that's.
Speaker 15: Right, just like an hour of my time at most,
Speaker 15: that's nothing you need.
Speaker 5: To call them, simple as that.

Speaker 6: oh three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Hey Tom
Speaker 6: Martino here three three seven to one to three talk
Speaker 6: seven one three eight two five five. Rod Grier and
Speaker 6: Bob Perry's with us from chaff Our Cars. I have
Speaker 6: another question about leasing, Bob. Someone wants to know and
Speaker 6: you and I talked about this. Can you lease a
Speaker 6: used car? And is it worth it? Because don't they
Speaker 6: depreciate in the first two years? Like can you talk
Speaker 6: about leasing a used car?
Speaker 8: Sure? Absolutely so? There is used car leasing.
Speaker 11: The parameters it has to be six model years are newer,
Speaker 11: six model years old or newer, And so it just
Speaker 11: depends on the car. The used car leases that are
Speaker 11: the cars at least the best are cars that depreciate
Speaker 11: a lot as soon as you drive them off with
Speaker 11: a lot, so the biggest depreciation's already gone and they
Speaker 11: won't depreciate that much more over the next three or
Speaker 11: four years. But the same logic on a used car
Speaker 11: as a new car. You've got the options at the end,
Speaker 11: and it makes sense on a lot of cars. If
Speaker 11: a car doesn't depreciate a lot when you drive it
Speaker 11: off the lot, a new one is probably a better deal.
Speaker 6: Now other than Tesla, who does their own leases, you're
Speaker 6: telling me. You told me, Bob, when I was looking
Speaker 6: at leasing an electric vehicle that it's not a good
Speaker 6: vehicle to lease with conventional leasing companies.
Speaker 11: Most of them won't do it because they don't know
Speaker 11: what the future value is going to be. And that's
Speaker 11: the you know, the good part about leasing is someone's
Speaker 11: predicting the future value. So the manufacturers are doing it.
Speaker 11: And there's some killer leases on electric cars right now,
Speaker 11: new electric cars, but.
Speaker 7: That's only from the manufacturers.
Speaker 11: Right, which we can do that through them, but yeah,
Speaker 11: there's some crazy, crazy leases.
Speaker 9: What do you guys think in general of dealerships? And
Speaker 9: here's what I mean. I love Tesla's model. There's no middleman.
Speaker 9: Tesla sells you the car. There's not some guy that
Speaker 9: owns a Ford dealer or Chevy dealer. And I realize
Speaker 9: you deal with all the so you'll be a little
Speaker 9: biased on it, But honestly, I love that model. I
Speaker 9: think you cut out the middleman when it comes to sales.
Speaker 5: You got to deal with the service somehow.
Speaker 9: I get that warranty stuff stuff like that, but Tesla
Speaker 9: has it figured out. I mean, don't you think that's
Speaker 9: a better model going forward? Or even And this sounds crazy, Hondai,
Speaker 9: you can go on Amazon now and buy a Santa
Speaker 9: Fe for the same price you're going to buy it
Speaker 9: at any deal or through you guys. Hey, it's not
Speaker 9: really cutting out the middleman because Amazon's making a little
Speaker 9: bit of the spread there.
Speaker 5: But what do you guys think?
Speaker 7: I think direct to consumer is a great idea.
Speaker 23: The I like competition and it's kind of nice to
Speaker 23: be able to instead of like Tesla. You can go
Speaker 23: to them only, and they control the price from the
Speaker 23: beginning to the end, even in the financing.
Speaker 9: You know what, He's right because there is no negotiation.
Speaker 9: I thought, not only that they do set the price,
Speaker 9: and you're right where a dealer ship, if it's been
Speaker 9: sitting on their line for three or four months, Hell,
Speaker 9: they'll take a haircut on it to get rid of that.
Speaker 9: So and that that will never happen with a directed.
Speaker 7: Hold on, hold on, hold on, said Peter, go ahead.
Speaker 8: I have no business in disargument.
Speaker 21: But your car is one of the only two things
Speaker 21: I know that you go and dicker over the price.
Speaker 21: When the last time you guys went and bought a
Speaker 21: refrigerator and argued with the guy how much you're gonna
Speaker 21: pay for the refriger.
Speaker 7: It comes from the old days of horse trading.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And my my thought is do you like that though?
Speaker 7: Do you like dickering?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me argue, hold on, let
Speaker 9: me take your motorcycles that way though, Peter, can you
Speaker 9: can you negotiate motorcycles?
Speaker 8: Absolutely?
Speaker 9: Yeah, but you can, guys, But but wait, go back
Speaker 9: to the refrigerator. Like you said, I agree, you walk
Speaker 9: into best Buy, You're not going to dicker around with
Speaker 9: the price. But you can also go to Costco. You
Speaker 9: can go to multiple places and get a better price.
Speaker 9: Have con that refrigerat.
Speaker 8: It's the point. Okay, here's where I listen.

Speaker 6: are when you're once you're told there are strict guidelines,
Speaker 6: is what they can charge you.
Speaker 7: And all of that. But if they go by those.
Speaker 6: Guidelines, your insurance should have to pay for this. You

Speaker 21: art form as it moves into all kinds of other
Speaker 21: parts of this of the atmosphere of what communication is
Speaker 21: all about.
Speaker 8: That there was a time that talk.
Speaker 7: Radio was a shisnt's you know what?
Speaker 6: You know what shocked me more than anything in the
Speaker 6: digital age, I'll tell you what shocked me. There are
Speaker 6: thousands and thousands and thousands of podcasts, absolutely, and some
Speaker 6: of them get here's what I didn't understand, or I
Speaker 6: don't understand some of them pop a number?
Speaker 7: How do you pop a number when you're out?
Speaker 6: Would you say they're ten thousand podcasts or more?
Speaker 7: I don't know?
Speaker 5: Millions?
Speaker 7: Man, he thinks, how do people get an audience with
Speaker 7: all that?
Speaker 8: Well, they don't, but some of them damn do.
Speaker 21: But we've we know plenty of people that didn't have
Speaker 21: an audience in talk radio. Right, that's true, so you
Speaker 21: know we looked at it that way. But no guys
Speaker 21: like Joe Rogan and some of these guys there, Oh
Speaker 21: my god, Rogan Rogan made Trump.
Speaker 8: He think about it. I mean, what Joe Rogan did
Speaker 8: is help.
Speaker 6: You know what about There's something about Joe Rogan that
Speaker 6: I like. He doesn't make it all about himself, and
Speaker 6: he's not.
Speaker 21: You remember him when he used to come in and
Speaker 21: do the show with me. He lived in Boulder, No,
Speaker 21: you and I were, we're working together.
Speaker 7: You actually had him on your show.
Speaker 8: He was their stand up comic and he liked the
Speaker 8: fight and uh, I like.
Speaker 7: Was he an actual fighter too?
Speaker 21: I don't know if he ever fought other than he
Speaker 21: did announcing right, Well, he.
Speaker 8: Was a fighter.
Speaker 16: He was an MMA fighter, that's why he's doing ann
Speaker 16: and he he was.
Speaker 21: I think he was a point fighter. I'm not so
Speaker 21: sure that he was a grappler.
Speaker 5: I doubt he was like MMA or anything.
Speaker 8: So I just know he was a bad ad. No,
Speaker 8: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 21: I think he was a point fighter, which at the
Speaker 21: time might as well have been full contact.
Speaker 8: But no, he's a tough guy. He's a way tough guy.
Speaker 9: I love that show he did where they would eat
Speaker 9: like spiders and jump off bridges and.
Speaker 7: I don't love did he do that one?
Speaker 2: He did?
Speaker 5: That one was fear Factor, that's right. But a good guy.
Speaker 8: I mean, my my experience with him was that I
Speaker 8: liked Joe Rogan.
Speaker 21: Oh and he's and he came across the same way
Speaker 21: I think on his podcast, and he did great stuff
Speaker 21: and he would didn't any back away. But he was unconstricted,
Speaker 21: Tommy by the federal government.
Speaker 8: And that's what you and I have lived with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had to be.
Speaker 6: We had to live by the the FCC rules and
Speaker 6: rigs and now nobody does.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So anyway, Peter, it was a joy having you.
Speaker 5: What d you'll have a Harley? Or what are you doing, Pete?
Speaker 21: No, I tell you I went. I went through some
Speaker 21: health issues. I I bought a trike.

Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 21: I had work done on it, some additional Yeah, some
Speaker 21: additional work.
Speaker 8: It's never really done.
Speaker 21: I have found some great young young men working in
Speaker 21: this business.
Speaker 7: It's just you know.
Speaker 6: I built an airplane one time I was going to
Speaker 6: bring to an air show and I wanted to I
Speaker 6: wanted to have it painted in a really fancy way.
Speaker 7: So here's the I did this was this was not
Speaker 7: that long?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 27: Was?
Speaker 7: It was legal? I bought him.
Speaker 6: I bought a marijuana and a pack, six pack and
Speaker 6: let him loosen my hangar, and I said, paint this
Speaker 6: plane any way you want.
Speaker 7: I swear to God, I.
Speaker 8: Remember when you did that.
Speaker 7: They were crazy crazy I did.
Speaker 6: The plane was primed white, and I said do anything
Speaker 6: you want. And they said, are you kidding, dude? And
Speaker 6: I said no, And I left him with some marijuana
Speaker 6: and a six pack. The longest ride I'm going to
Speaker 6: show you. I'm going to show everybody online a picture
Speaker 6: of that coming up, of what they did while they
Speaker 6: were high.
Speaker 21: Anyway, anyway, every year up to South Dakota and back,
Speaker 21: Oh nice, and then a week riding in South Dakota,
Speaker 21: probably round trip, I don't know, two two thousand miles
Speaker 21: give or take.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good haul, man, that's a good haul.
Speaker 21: But you know what, motorcycles, I'm to think people that
Speaker 21: understand them or love them, and it's a different boogie
Speaker 21: than what people think motorcires.
Speaker 8: It's really is a way of life that it is.
Speaker 8: It is with the bikes.
Speaker 6: Anyway, Peter, as I said, you're welcome to stay as
Speaker 6: long as you can, but you have to leave.
Speaker 8: I gotta go get my bike. All right, we'll look
Speaker 8: at the round it starts.
Speaker 6: And I'm going to take some phone calls three all
Speaker 6: three seven one three talk seven one three eight two
Speaker 6: five five anytime, Peter, anytime, Bro, We'll see it.
Speaker 8: Marco'll give you a call. Brother man Thak you're Brokay.
Speaker 6: Now the towing issue, Jen, here's what I need to know.
Speaker 7: You said you were in a not.
Speaker 6: A fault accident, your car was towed by Connolly, and
Speaker 6: then you said there was way more to the story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, did you just flush it?
Speaker 7: Will see more to the story?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 18: Something?
Speaker 28: So okay? So I am.
Speaker 20: Sorry. I have to figure out where we are in Sorry, okay.
Speaker 20: So I talked to them numerous times since the beginning
Speaker 20: of the accident. On they said they wanted three hundred
Speaker 20: and fifty dollars and the title and it wouldn't get
Speaker 20: sent to collections, or I could pay the storage and
Speaker 20: I could take it. I talked to them at the
Speaker 20: middle of February, the beginning of March, and like the
Speaker 20: third week in March, I'm April.
Speaker 7: But where does it stand right now?
Speaker 6: Jan?
Speaker 7: Why are you calling today?
Speaker 6: Tell me why you're calling today.
Speaker 20: It's at a poll and pay. It's like half a
Speaker 20: car now and it's at the poll and pay.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, they junked it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but but didn't they say?
Speaker 6: Didn't they say if you gave him, well, they had
Speaker 6: a right to though. If you didn't pay the bill,
Speaker 6: they had a right to take ownership of it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but the other person's insurance. Here's where I'm a
Speaker 9: little lost. How come it just simply didn't get paid?
Speaker 9: Did no one have insurance including you and the.
Speaker 20: No one had liability?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I only had like the other party did not have insurance.
Speaker 5: You're screwed.
Speaker 20: But that's why I kept in contact with them. Doesn't
Speaker 20: matter because I told them I was trying to get the.
Speaker 6: But I don't see. This is what I don't understand.
Speaker 6: You talk a lot, but this is what I don't understand.
Speaker 6: Keeping in contact with them means nothing.
Speaker 2: Zero.
Speaker 7: They want payment.
Speaker 6: But but you could have signed it over to them
Speaker 6: and had them do it voluntarly.
Speaker 5: But they had to do it in for me to
Speaker 5: sign it.
Speaker 9: Then, even worse than that, just for me to sign
Speaker 9: it listen to them.
Speaker 6: Oh that's weird. Was this I wentn't by the cops.
Speaker 6: So was it towed by the cops?
Speaker 25: It was by Conley.
Speaker 5: Well, I understand the towing company. Here's the deal.
Speaker 9: You could have got it for seventy five bucks if
Speaker 9: it wasn't towed by the by the cops.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was.
Speaker 6: I think I think it was towed by the cops
Speaker 6: because it was an accident and the cops probably ordered it.
Speaker 7: Maybe not, though, I mean, she can research that. Jen.
Speaker 6: Here's what I want to tell you, so we don't
Speaker 6: waste your time research.
Speaker 1: Didn't have it?
Speaker 5: Have it tod Then that's seventy Okay, then you're out
Speaker 5: of luck. Yeah, it didn't matter.
Speaker 7: Then you're out of luck. What you're out of luck?
Speaker 12: What's seventy dollars?
Speaker 9: Well, if you if someone let's say you park in
Speaker 9: an apartment complex where you're not supposed to park, or
Speaker 9: at a restaurant or somewhere that's monitored, and your car
Speaker 9: gets towed and three or four days later you owe
Speaker 9: five hundred dollars, they have to release it for seventy
Speaker 9: five dollars. Yet they have to it's the law in Colorado.
Speaker 9: But in your case it doesn't matter because that does
Speaker 9: not affect a towing company when the police are involved.
Speaker 6: But Mark, you should also mention that you get your
Speaker 6: car for seventy five dollars, but you have to make
Speaker 6: payments on the balance.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely you do. You got to pay the
Speaker 5: full bill.
Speaker 2: Your vehicle. Jen.
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter, it's.
Speaker 8: Jen.
Speaker 7: It this Mark mentioned this whole thing.
Speaker 6: Mark mentioned this whole thing about seventy five dollars, and
Speaker 6: it has nothing to do with your case. So he
Speaker 6: was just giving an example of an independent toe the
Speaker 6: fact that the police had it done.
Speaker 7: There's nothing we can do about it.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Jen, I'm really sorry, but there's nothing we
Speaker 6: can do about it.
Speaker 5: Are you still pound on it?
Speaker 13: Kelly?
Speaker 6: No, Okay, that's good at least. Well she's got to
Speaker 6: have your car now. Yeah, but but why are we
Speaker 6: keeping this going? We can't help her. I mean, I
Speaker 6: want to be honest with her. Again, we can't help her, Kelly.
Speaker 6: You have a question about real estate?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 7: Kelly?
Speaker 10: Hi?
Speaker 25: Tom? Yes, I have two questions.
Speaker 2: One is.
Speaker 25: I think that you can only raise the rent once
Speaker 25: a year and only at ten right? Can you tell
Speaker 25: me also that is true?
Speaker 5: I don't think to ten? Correct?
Speaker 6: No, I think, hold on, there is there. Well, we
Speaker 6: have to find out rather than speculate. But I think
Speaker 6: you're right about the once a year.
Speaker 7: Now, I think once the year's correct.
Speaker 9: But I don't think there's any you could I don't
Speaker 9: think there's any cap on what you can raise it.
Speaker 5: I mean, think about that.
Speaker 9: If I remodel it and put one hundred and fifty
Speaker 9: million dollars into it, I'm still not going to rent
Speaker 9: it out for one thousand dollars a month, right, But.
Speaker 25: So, okay, so you can only raise it once a year,
Speaker 25: and if you could find out if the cap is
Speaker 25: ten percent of there.
Speaker 6: Is, I just found out. I just went on the way. Listen,
Speaker 6: I just went on the law. There is no the
Speaker 6: least agreement itself can limit rent increases.
Speaker 7: The city or county might.
Speaker 6: Have specific rules, but as of yet, there is no
Speaker 6: cap on rent in Colorado. Yeah, it'd be insane to
Speaker 6: do that, even the wackos that are writing the law. Here,
Speaker 6: here's where you heard, here's where you heard the ten percent. Okay,
Speaker 6: landlords must give a longer notice if they're going to
Speaker 6: raise it more than ten percent, Okay, so they So
Speaker 6: I'm going to find out it says, ninety days notice.
Speaker 9: I ameme, you'r a landlord? Yes, yeah, okay, what do
Speaker 9: you How much are you going to raise it? Just
Speaker 9: said Caius. Here's the rule. You want to hear the rule.
Speaker 9: Let's hear the rule. Let's go to the law.
Speaker 6: Landlord must give sixty days notice for any rent increase,
Speaker 6: but if it's more than ten percent, they have to
Speaker 6: give ninety days notice.
Speaker 8: There we go.
Speaker 25: Okay, and I'm way below the market, so uh, you
Speaker 25: know I and everything is raising in costs, So on
Speaker 25: ninety days if you're going to raise it more than
Speaker 25: ten percent and sixty days, it's.
Speaker 9: Right, you know what, Tom, Tom, you're raking that up.
Speaker 9: Just made me think of another loophole for landlords. Let's
Speaker 9: say you do want someone out, but you're not going
Speaker 9: to sell the property, and you're not gonna do other
Speaker 9: things that can exempt you from not renewing the lease.
Speaker 9: You give ninety days notice that that fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 9: a month's now one hundred thousand a month, and they're gone, Jack, Yeah,
Speaker 9: I mean I take to day.
Speaker 6: You can raise it to whatever you want. I think
Speaker 6: you can raise it to whatever you want.
Speaker 25: And what if you don't have a lease with the person.
Speaker 25: They're in there without a lease.
Speaker 6: If you do have a lease with them, it's thirty
Speaker 6: it's it's a thirty day. It's moth Actually, I read
Speaker 6: this wrong. There is a new law. There is a
Speaker 6: new law. If the rent increase is ten percent or less.
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, never mind. It's what I said,
Speaker 6: sixty days. Notice. If it's ten percent or more, it's
Speaker 6: ninety days. It used to be sixty days for everything.
Speaker 6: Now it's ninety days. If you're gonna do it more
Speaker 6: than that. Thank you for calling Kelly. Three oh three

Speaker 6: you're troubleshooter three O three seven one three talk seven
Speaker 6: on three eight two five five. Our guests today for
Speaker 6: Car Friday, Rodgreer and Bob Perry.
Speaker 7: They're both from Jfrcars.
Speaker 6: Now, I want to I want to talk about leasing
Speaker 6: because I'm fascinating with Lison.
Speaker 7: I'm fascinated.
Speaker 6: In fact, I've made up my mind I will never
Speaker 6: buy another car and tie up a chunk of capital
Speaker 6: again because the lease makes far better sense. If I
Speaker 6: believe you're not doing excessive mileage. Now, Bob says, who's
Speaker 6: the leasing expert? Bob Perry says, even if you're doing
Speaker 6: high mileage, if you'll account for it leasing a still
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. Like I said, if you're going
Speaker 7: to do a bunch of mileage, maybe just keep the car.
Speaker 6: But somebody did text the question, Bob Perry, have you
Speaker 6: had people who lease a car for three years and
Speaker 6: then come in and put it on a three year
Speaker 6: loan and buy it so they're into that car for.
Speaker 7: Six years with a very manageable payment.
Speaker 8: Sure, I've done that a lot.
Speaker 11: And we've also taken people that had a three year
Speaker 11: lease and put them in another three year lease on
Speaker 11: the same car.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, Wait just a minute, buddy, You mean
Speaker 6: to tell me you can lease the car then turn
Speaker 6: around and take the residual value and release it again.
Speaker 11: You can, Yes, absolutely, Sometimes the payment's extremely small then
Speaker 11: because there's not a lot of depreciation left in that car,
Speaker 11: so makes sense. And you know the car, you know
Speaker 11: it's your cars.
Speaker 6: So and then at the end of the six years,
Speaker 6: do they buy it or let it go or they
Speaker 6: they have their choice, right, sure, whatever makes sense at
Speaker 6: that time. Someone wants to know when they were shopping
Speaker 6: for a leased a lease back in the day, there
Speaker 6: was a closed end lease and an open end lease.
Speaker 6: Do they still have those in what are they?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 11: So, the difference is an open end lease is really
Speaker 11: designed for companies business commercial use. On an open end lease,
Speaker 11: the less he is responsible for the residual value. So
Speaker 11: let's just say you have a construction company and you
Speaker 11: want to.
Speaker 8: Lease a truck.
Speaker 11: Average wear and tear is different in the mind of
Speaker 11: a lender versus the guy who's using the truck. So
Speaker 11: on an open end lease, he's still responsible for the
Speaker 11: residual value. Closed end leases are designed for individuals. So
Speaker 11: that they aren't responsible for the residual value. The lender
Speaker 11: will and that value based on miles and average wear
Speaker 11: and tear.
Speaker 6: So they why would anyone want Why would anyone want.
Speaker 7: To close then lease?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 11: Because you can walk away from it. You're not responsible
Speaker 11: for the residual value. That's you know, we've talked. That's
Speaker 11: the advantage of leasing is you have the upside potential
Speaker 11: without the downside risk.
Speaker 7: Oh clo closed en means closed n leases you walk
Speaker 7: away from every time.
Speaker 11: Correct, So on an open end lease, same situation, a
Speaker 11: guy returns his vehicle. What happens in is you either
Speaker 11: take it to auction or you get three bids. If
Speaker 11: it's worth more than the residual value, he gets the
Speaker 11: money back. If it's worthless, he gets a bill because
Speaker 11: of the use of the vehicle.
Speaker 6: I got a question, have you ever had it go ahead?
Speaker 6: If you is there a five year lease?
Speaker 9: There is, yes, So if you had a five year lease,
Speaker 9: and let's say it's ten thousand miles to use easy numbers,
Speaker 9: so at the end of the five years, you're supposed
Speaker 9: to turn it in fifty thousand dollars is basically what
Speaker 9: fifty miles or fifty thousand miles right now, I'm being
Speaker 9: dead serious. If you end up turning it in with
Speaker 9: two hundred thousand miles, could it literally end up costing
Speaker 9: you more than if you just bought the vehicle.
Speaker 11: So in that case, there's a break even point of
Speaker 11: what's the car worth if you buy it out versus
Speaker 11: what's the penalty for miles. So if you have that
Speaker 11: many miles on, it makes more sense to buy the
Speaker 11: car and take less for the car because a penalty
Speaker 11: won't be as big as the mileage penalty.
Speaker 6: Okay, so that does okay, Yeah, so Bob, I'd never
Speaker 6: thought of that before. So at the end of a lease,
Speaker 6: if you have excessive mileage, maybe not as excessive a
Speaker 6: march set, but just excessive mileage, rather than taking a
Speaker 6: hit on the residual, you can simply buy it.
Speaker 11: For yourself absolutely, because your buyout is a fixed purchase
Speaker 11: option the day you signed the lease, so you know
Speaker 11: what that car is going to cost you. So's there's
Speaker 11: a time where you're just going to have too many
Speaker 11: I'm going to have to buy it and just work.
Speaker 7: My way out of it.
Speaker 8: And that's that's always a possibility.
Speaker 6: See there again, another reason to have a lease. Even
Speaker 6: if you go over mileage, you have the price of
Speaker 6: the car. And here's what I've always said, when you
Speaker 6: lease the car and buy it out at the end
Speaker 6: of the lease, it's like buying a used car, except
Speaker 6: you know the owner and you know exactly how that
Speaker 6: car was kept. Yep, Okay, I want to talk to Tim,
Speaker 6: real quick caller Tim. And by the way, the ABNY calls,
Speaker 6: especially about leasing cars.
Speaker 7: I think it's phenomenal.
Speaker 6: Three oh three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 6: eight two five five Tim, go.
Speaker 24: Ahead, Hey, hey, hey, John, can hear me?
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, I can, yes, Okay, I can hear you.
Speaker 24: My father in law passed away about three years ago,
Speaker 24: and my wife did the taxes for him, and he
Speaker 24: got a refund, and the federal refund came, and everything
Speaker 24: was buying and they you know, she's been in the
Speaker 24: death certificate and and the check was me out to
Speaker 24: his estate and I just we were looking on the
Speaker 24: Colorado'll find my money and realized we had this check
Speaker 24: out there that was supposed to be made out to
Speaker 24: my wife and we can't figure out who to call
Speaker 24: to get them to reissue the check so we can
Speaker 24: you know, so we can get the money.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, they don't reissue the check. The check
Speaker 6: was issued, the money went to the Escheat Funds. That's
Speaker 6: where the money sits.
Speaker 24: Yeah, exactly, but it's still under my father in law's
Speaker 24: name and it should be under.
Speaker 6: I understand, but you don't. They won't reissue. They won't
Speaker 6: reissue it.
Speaker 7: You go to the.
Speaker 6: State Eschiet Funds with the treasury and that's where you
Speaker 6: claim it with the death certificate.
Speaker 24: Okay, And is there a number for that or do when?
Speaker 24: I just do that online because we've my wife got
Speaker 24: a couple of phone numbers and nobody, nobody can really
Speaker 24: figure out how to help us. And you're kind of
Speaker 24: our last quot.
Speaker 7: It's all part Listen. It's called it.
Speaker 6: Here's what. It's called the Great Colorado Payback. And I
Speaker 6: believe I don't know if the site, Yeah, the site

Speaker 6: be the only government side I know that's not dot gov.
Speaker 8: It's the only one.

Speaker 6: it's really weird. It's it's here's it. It's here's what

Speaker 24: some money coming back to and I did get my
Speaker 24: money back and it took you know, it took like
Speaker 24: a week. So yeah, that's I mean, it's legit.
Speaker 5: And so you guys are where too.
Speaker 19: The Colorado dot gov does link to that website, the
Speaker 19: Colorado Yeah, that's right, your claimed property dot com. So yes,
Speaker 19: it's right, is official.
Speaker 7: It is linked.
Speaker 6: You're right, So it is linked to the Colorado payback
Speaker 6: and it is official. I just never saw a dot
Speaker 6: com site from the government, but the dot gov site
Speaker 6: links to it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So anyway, you said you had already claimed money from there,
Speaker 6: Tim for yourself, that your wife would do the same
Speaker 6: thing for her father, she would do the same thing
Speaker 6: for her father, and then you just have to show
Speaker 6: proof of representation.
Speaker 24: Okay, I will Hey, I tried to.
Speaker 9: Hey, just as a comment on this, I have a
Speaker 9: company from years ago. It's called Colorado I don't want
Speaker 9: to say because people go look it up and it
Speaker 9: has like over a thousand bucks sitting in that a
Speaker 9: sheet or whatever it's called fund and I have sent
Speaker 9: them every bit of information to prove I own that company,
Speaker 9: and I simply can't get that money.
Speaker 5: It really sucks.
Speaker 9: I think if it's under your name, it's probably easy
Speaker 9: to get, but man, if it's under a company you owned,
Speaker 9: like literally a corporation, you just can't get it.
Speaker 23: Tom.
Speaker 9: I mean, I have sent them every possible thing they
Speaker 9: have asked for, and I still don't have that money.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's odd, because how does anyone with a corporation
Speaker 6: then get the money.
Speaker 5: I have no idea they want.
Speaker 9: Of course, I can understand they want to prove you
Speaker 9: own the company or did own the company, But I've
Speaker 9: sent them all the proof I possibly can. I mean,
Speaker 9: everything tax returns. I mean, you name it. I've sent
Speaker 9: it to them, but I just can't get it back.
Speaker 5: It's crazy, man.
Speaker 7: Wow, Okay, we need to take a break. Listen, Kim.

Speaker 6: owed money too from the state.
Speaker 9: I just I don't know what the one is because
Speaker 9: it just says over two hundred and fifty, but I
Speaker 9: mean I round it up at least five six hundred bucks.
Speaker 5: I'm doing it right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So if you go to this place, man, it tells
Speaker 6: you what you are owed.
Speaker 7: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 5: There's any tart.
Speaker 9: They owe me zero, which is really it says Bank
Speaker 9: of the West owes.
Speaker 5: Me zero point zero zero. Wow.
Speaker 7: I just don't know why.
Speaker 29: Okay, hold on like yeah, yeah, no, no, Mark, I
Speaker 29: have a theory that I can't wait a safe deposit
Speaker 29: box that and they're holding the contents for you.
Speaker 9: Oh my god, we did have a We did have
Speaker 9: a safety deposit box at Bank.
Speaker 5: Of the West.
Speaker 8: Tom, can we add this to.
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 9: Just said that it says what's in the box. I
Speaker 9: don't know what's in that box. There could be some
Speaker 9: skeletons in that there box.
Speaker 16: Let's do a live opening like Heraldo Rivera when he
Speaker 16: opened that Gangsters ball.
Speaker 5: You know what I'll do.
Speaker 9: I'll put a PEPSI can in there just to make
Speaker 9: it look good it. Can you imagine if I opened
Speaker 9: it up live on YouTube and there was like a
Speaker 9: sack of cocaine?
Speaker 16: Yes, well, would there be a second deposit box.
Speaker 5: Only if the bankers put it in there.
Speaker 6: Anyway, they said that I filled out everything while we
Speaker 6: were on the air, and they said, now you have
Speaker 6: to complete it when they send you something. So they
Speaker 6: have to send me something now that I have to complete,
Speaker 6: even going all through that online, how much was yours time?
Speaker 7: And thirty five dollars?
Speaker 26: Oh?
Speaker 6: Anyway, the Colorado? I got a text, you get payback.
Speaker 6: Here's here's the Colorado. This is a hey, in all honesty.
Speaker 7: Has no one in the office.
Speaker 6: When I registered to speak to someone, they told me
Speaker 6: that everybody works from home.
Speaker 9: Just send in the documentation. Go ahead, mark, So thirty
Speaker 9: five dollars. How far would that get you in your bird?
Speaker 2: In your bird?
Speaker 5: Well across the streets? Serious? Ten miles?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 6: Fuel costs six dollars and about six thirty five times
Speaker 6: times for an hour, it burns twenty twenty three times
Speaker 6: twenty three, so it burns one hundred and forty six
Speaker 6: dollars and five cents an hour. So geez, So thirty
Speaker 6: five dollars, Oh yeah, just do the math.
Speaker 7: Thirty five dollars.
Speaker 6: So that's one hundred and forty six divided by thirty five, right, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's what I do would give me.
Speaker 5: No, I don't know if that's right.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I got to figure it out a
Speaker 7: different way. I'm not gonna do math live on the air.
Speaker 6: I'll figure I'll figure out how far thirty five dollars
Speaker 6: will give me. Wait, I know what a do thirty
Speaker 6: five will get me, and I know what to do.
Speaker 7: Folks.
Speaker 6: Wait, I'm not that stupid six thirty six thirty five, right.
Speaker 7: So what I do is this.
Speaker 6: I take the the thirty five dollars and divide it
Speaker 6: by the gallon, so six thirty five, and then I
Speaker 6: come up with five gallons. So five gallons would get
Speaker 6: me about twenty fifty twenty. Yeah, approximately fifteen minutes.
Speaker 16: Is that enough time to take to take Mark over
Speaker 16: to pick up his safe deposit box from the government.

Speaker 6: Welcome Brian. Brian, you have a parking issue. What's going on, Brian?
Speaker 27: Actually, Tom, it's not a parking issue. It's actually my
Speaker 27: truck stalls while I'm coming to a stop.
Speaker 6: Oh a pompa. I didn't mean parking, it says breaking.
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry, So tell me what happens. Tell me
Speaker 6: what happens when you roll up to like a traffic
Speaker 6: light and stops.
Speaker 27: What happens well, and not every single time, it's just
Speaker 27: every once in a while, it all of a sudden,
Speaker 27: I can you know, you can feel the truck losing
Speaker 27: power and then it basically shuts down, and so I
Speaker 27: have to throw it into park and then start it
Speaker 27: right back up again, and I put it in a
Speaker 27: drive and I continue on. Then I won't do it
Speaker 27: for a while, but then there'll be I don't know,
Speaker 27: maybe and this just started happening like last couple of days,
Speaker 27: so it doesn't happen every single time.
Speaker 6: You know what we're gonna get ket Is Kevin available
Speaker 6: by phone?
Speaker 7: I know he's not in today, but is.
Speaker 9: He available by think his uh service or not service manager?
Speaker 9: But his store manager basically called in last minute, so
Speaker 9: he's there at the shop.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, all.
Speaker 6: Right, so let's call Kevin and we'll ask him to
Speaker 6: give it to weigh in on this breaking issue. But
Speaker 6: I think do you have an idea? Dmeetri hey, Brian.
Speaker 16: In the past couple of days, just before this problem
Speaker 16: became a parent, did you happen to either change the
Speaker 16: battery or disconnect the battery or run out of battery power?
Speaker 13: Yes?
Speaker 7: Ah? Why why did you ask that?
Speaker 16: So what happens is if Brian's throttle body hasn't been
Speaker 16: cleaned in.
Speaker 8: A long time.
Speaker 16: Then he's going to experience this exact symptom every time
Speaker 16: the truck goes into wild idol. Because the throttle body
Speaker 16: cleaning insures proper airflow into the engine, and because his
Speaker 16: throttle body is filthy right now like mine once once was,
Speaker 16: then the air fuel mixture is wrong.
Speaker 7: Then what what did it have to do with losing power?
Speaker 8: You asked?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 16: So, over the years, as the throttle body becomes dirtier
Speaker 16: and dirtier and dirtier, the car's computer adjusts for that.
Speaker 16: It remembers that you had a filthy throttle body last
Speaker 16: time it started, so it adjusts the air fuel mixture
Speaker 16: to compensate for the filth. But once you disconnect the battery,
Speaker 16: that memory is wiped out and the truck forgot that
Speaker 16: it learned how to adjust for the.
Speaker 7: Dormind God, how cool is this?
Speaker 16: So I think you're going to need a throttle body
Speaker 16: service bridan deputy.
Speaker 7: Deputy d sounds like a mechanic, so no doubt. What
Speaker 7: do you say?
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, basically what he's saying is that the throttle
Speaker 6: bodies are dirty, and it used to adjust for it,
Speaker 6: but now it's not adjusting for it anymore because you
Speaker 6: lost power.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Once that diagnoses that and cleans your it's called an
Speaker 16: induction service. Is the service you would want to ask for.
Speaker 16: Provided Kevin agrees with my amateur diagnosis of the problem,
Speaker 16: then please call us so let us know if that
Speaker 16: was right or not.
Speaker 8: I mean, I've got a lot writing on this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so let's Kevin's on right now, Kevin, real quick, Kevin,
Speaker 6: if if his truck, hey man, his F one P
Speaker 6: fifty as he's coming to a stop sign or a
Speaker 6: stop light, it wants to stall now. Dimitri said it
Speaker 6: could be the throttle body. He said, at one time,
Speaker 6: the throttle body was adjusting for that, giving you enough air.
Speaker 6: But he lost power, uh, with his battery one time,
Speaker 6: and that erased the memory.
Speaker 26: Oh yeah yeah. It also has a learning curve in
Speaker 26: it as well. Dmitri nailed it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what That's what Dimitri said.
Speaker 6: And then that battery when your battery dish charged, it
Speaker 6: wiped out the memory or the.
Speaker 8: Learning yep, yep.
Speaker 26: It could be a relearner. It could be dirt or
Speaker 26: her bulk. Yes, yeah, yeah, Dmitri nailed it. Good job,
Speaker 26: Dmitri thank good job.
Speaker 16: I'm gonna email you my resume in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 6: I gotta give him my danger I didn't need. This
Speaker 6: is like twice in a day, Brian, take it over
Speaker 6: to share it a auto tech.
Speaker 7: How long does it take to clean those throttle bodies?
Speaker 26: We need a couple of two three hours typically.

Speaker 6: have Rodgreer with us from jfrcars dot com.
Speaker 7: Also Bob Perry. He's the leasing expert over there.
Speaker 6: And as I said, leasing has become more attractive these
Speaker 6: days as cars get more expensive. If you look at
Speaker 6: it as eating an apple, if you're only going to
Speaker 6: eat half the apple, why pay for all of it?
Speaker 6: You pay for the half you're going to eat, and
Speaker 6: then you turn it back in or buy it if
Speaker 6: you want. If that half an apple turns out to
Speaker 6: be valuable, buy it back and then sell.
Speaker 7: It or keep it or whatever if you again.
Speaker 6: I think ideally, in my mind, a lease candidate is
Speaker 6: someone who will keep the term, the terms and conditions.
Speaker 7: What Bob do lease?
Speaker 5: Oh we might have just lost the love.
Speaker 6: Oh say it again? Time we lost you for a second?
Speaker 6: Lost who you? I'm sorry, I'm asking, I'm asking of
Speaker 6: the less ores, Like there's big lessors, big lenders that
Speaker 6: do leases. They buy the cars and least them to you.
Speaker 6: What how do they come up with residual values? And
Speaker 6: can we take Is there a place we can look? Oh,
Speaker 6: you've dropped again?
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's dropping in and out. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 9: I'm not even sure where he's going with that.
Speaker 8: I can already answer it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So let me ask you something though, JFI we
Speaker 9: can you.
Speaker 7: Hear me now? Mark?
Speaker 18: Yeah? Mark?
Speaker 7: Can you hear me now?
Speaker 5: Go ahead?
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm sorry about I'm sorry about that. If I'm
Speaker 6: dropping in and out? Is there a place you can
Speaker 6: go and see what residual values are on different brands?
Speaker 11: Not really so residuals. They try and to determine those
Speaker 11: based on the past. So they take like a say,
Speaker 11: a three year old Toyota Highlander and see what it's
Speaker 11: selling for wholesale compared to what it was when it
Speaker 11: was new, and let's just say it's fifty percent. So
Speaker 11: then they give a new Highlander fifty percent residual. And
Speaker 11: when there's cars that there is no pass sometimes the
Speaker 11: residuals can be extremely low, or they don't lease them
Speaker 11: till they have some history.
Speaker 6: But if I is there any place but there's no
Speaker 6: place online that would give me like Mercedes Benz And
Speaker 6: then the percentage of residual from the MSRP.
Speaker 11: I mean not that I know of, because you know,
Speaker 11: there's different lenders, so different lenders will have different residuals.
Speaker 11: So Mercedes Benz Credit could have a higher residual because
Speaker 11: it's their product, and where a bank or a credit
Speaker 11: union may be a little bit more conservative because they're
Speaker 11: not as familiar with Mercedes Benz values. But so you
Speaker 11: could have, you know, the same car and go to
Speaker 11: three different lenders, have three different payments.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Plus in the scenario just gave, if Mercedes is getting
Speaker 9: that vehicle back, they're going to certify it is used
Speaker 9: things other dealers can't do, so the vehicle truly is
Speaker 9: worth more to them it would be somebody else.
Speaker 23: And that would also determine whether or not Okay, we
Speaker 23: would just ask my I was gonna say, that would
Speaker 23: determine whether or not delay, But go ahead, Tom.
Speaker 6: I was told that that you can go on and
Speaker 6: find out residual values on some websites, but you but
Speaker 6: as as Perry Bob Perry said, it has to be
Speaker 6: each lesser publishes their own correct.
Speaker 7: Does that make sense?
Speaker 6: So, like I'm looking at JD powers they issue, Now
Speaker 6: where do they get their information? They give residual values,
Speaker 6: and so do other companies.
Speaker 7: Where do they do that? How do they do that?
Speaker 6: I mean they're using their own history. They just they
Speaker 6: know what they're going to pay out like g right,
Speaker 6: that's right. So does GE give residual values?
Speaker 2: They?
Speaker 8: Well, they when they used to lease, they did. I
Speaker 8: don't know that they do any more. Leasing on vehicles.
Speaker 6: Okay, find out the future price of your car.
Speaker 7: And this is on goodcr dot.
Speaker 6: Com, good car dot com, which is weird. I mean,
Speaker 6: and all you do is enter a ven number and
Speaker 6: they do a least calculator on a ven number.
Speaker 5: Isn't that weird?
Speaker 7: Car dot com? See what you think about that one.
Speaker 6: I'll take a look at it. I've never heard of them,
Speaker 6: but yeah, me too. Maybe they maybe they aggregate the inform.
Speaker 6: See here's why I'm saying this. Here's why I'm saying this, Bobby.
Speaker 6: If I want to lease a car and I want
Speaker 6: to get the lowest payment, I would then want to
Speaker 6: find a car that has a good price versus the
Speaker 6: percentage of MSRP lessor is willing to pay. Like I
Speaker 6: was told, one of the highest residual values you can
Speaker 6: find in a car would be forty five percent of MSRP.
Speaker 6: Is that true or does it go higher than that?
Speaker 11: Well, it'll go higher than that. And you know, the
Speaker 11: lowest payment isn't always.
Speaker 8: The best lease, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 11: There's some lenders that will give a car an exceptionally
Speaker 11: high residual value, but they'll also have a high money
Speaker 11: factor to give you a low payment. And then what
Speaker 11: they do is they take that extra money that they've
Speaker 11: charged in their lease charge and put that aside to
Speaker 11: cover their you know, the excessive residual if they get
Speaker 11: the car back, so they bank that extra money and
Speaker 11: then hope that it gets totaled or you end up
Speaker 11: buying it. But they'll have the lowest payment, but it's
Speaker 11: not the best lease.
Speaker 9: Well not only that, the payment can be low, but
Speaker 9: I'm just looking at a car here, So it's two
Speaker 9: hundred and nine bucks a month for thirty six months,
Speaker 9: but it's also almost four grand due it's signing, So
Speaker 9: I mean, what's the difference. I mean, you're paying that
Speaker 9: down payments a lot of it, right, is the zero
Speaker 9: down on a lease.
Speaker 11: Now a true an actual release. All they require down
Speaker 11: is your first month's payment. If there's any rebates or anything,
Speaker 11: you pay sales tax at least in Colorado, or you
Speaker 11: pay sales tax on that rebate.
Speaker 8: That's all that's required.
Speaker 2: So the.
Speaker 8: Signing, because that's how they got to that payment.
Speaker 7: But listen to this, guys, listen to this. Listen.
Speaker 6: I went to Edmunds dot com. They have a lease calculator.
Speaker 6: You put in the make the model the year, and
Speaker 6: it tells you what the MSRP is, what the average
Speaker 6: selling price is, and then it tells you the selling
Speaker 6: Then it tells you, based on ten than twelve thousand
Speaker 6: or fifteen thousand miles, what your payment will be.
Speaker 7: So that's pretty amazing to me. Isn't that amazing to you?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 6: I mean, it gives you the payment right away, you know,
Speaker 6: assuming that and on this one for example, well, okay,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give you an example, Okay, but no, it
Speaker 6: just says least calculator from Industry Resources. It says a
Speaker 6: Mercedes been let's say, twenty twenty five g wagon. Okay,
Speaker 6: it tells you that they'll pay you at the end
Speaker 6: of the lease. How much they'll pay you. They'll pay
Speaker 6: you fifty percent of MSRP fifty percent, and the your
Speaker 6: payment on that would be my god, it would be
Speaker 6: thirty eight.
Speaker 7: Hundred dollars or almost thirty nine.
Speaker 6: No, no, oh, it's more than that, plus taxes and fees.
Speaker 6: Your payment on that would be forty four hundred dollars
Speaker 6: a month.
Speaker 7: You would have to be insane to do that, so
Speaker 7: forty four a month.
Speaker 11: If you have all the information, so you know what
Speaker 11: the cost or the cap cost of the car is,
Speaker 11: you know the residual value, you know money factor. I mean,
Speaker 11: I've got a nap on my phone. If I just
Speaker 11: put the right information in, it'll give me a lease payment.
Speaker 11: But that doesn't mean you know that that everybody will
Speaker 11: honor those numbers. That's through a certain lender that will
Speaker 11: do no.
Speaker 7: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 6: Lease lessors they have the right to do whatever terms
Speaker 6: and conditions they want. If they say, no, we're not
Speaker 6: paying you fifty percent on that, then they could alter
Speaker 6: it right or something, say I'm going to pay you
Speaker 6: more than fifty percent. Sure the loads you have risk on?
Speaker 6: My question to you, do you go to a number
Speaker 6: of Let do you go to a number of sources
Speaker 6: or do you just have one you go with?
Speaker 11: No, No, We've got a number, including the manufacturers. So
Speaker 11: if there's a you know, a factory backed lease where
Speaker 11: they have some incentives, we can use that. And we've
Speaker 11: got you know, independent banks and credit unions and you
Speaker 11: know that we can compare them to.

Speaker 11: You are so you can either you know, put new
Speaker 11: parts on and keep the old parts and turn it
Speaker 11: back in with the old parts. Or if what you
Speaker 11: put on there devalues the car and makes it worth less,
Speaker 11: they may charge you as they would excessive wear and tear.
Speaker 11: In other words, if you've cut holes in it or
Speaker 11: done something that devalues the car, then they could charge
Speaker 11: you for it. But you can do whatever you want
Speaker 11: to with it as long as you don't hurt the value.
Speaker 6: It all comes down to the value. What's excessive wear?
Speaker 6: Can give me an example of excessive wear like seats
Speaker 6: or interior.
Speaker 11: So depending on the lender, some of them'll give you
Speaker 11: some guidelines, like they'll give you something that's the size
Speaker 11: of a credit card and they'll say, if you can
Speaker 11: cover up any you know, like scratches, dents, dings with
Speaker 11: this card, they're not going to charge you. Some of
Speaker 11: them will wave the first thousand dollars. Some of them
Speaker 11: will charge you for everything. And so all lenders will
Speaker 11: give you the opportunity to have an inspection before you
Speaker 11: turn the car in. So if you get a bunch
Speaker 11: of charges, you can fix that or take care of
Speaker 11: it before you turn it in because you can usually
Speaker 11: get it fixed for less than what they're going.
Speaker 8: To charge you.
Speaker 9: It almost sounds like a like running an apartment. I mean,
Speaker 9: you know, wear and tear on the carpet's one thing,
Speaker 9: but having a hole in the walls are different.
Speaker 11: Exactly, you know, because they're just trying to get to
Speaker 11: the value they guessed three years ago based on you
Speaker 11: holding up your end of the bargain. You didn't drive
Speaker 11: extra miles and you didn't beat the car up. So
Speaker 11: you know, big dents, scratches, ball tires, cracked windshields. They're
Speaker 11: going to charge for all that because it devalues the car.
Speaker 11: If you own that car, it makes that car worthless.
Speaker 11: Even if if you own it and want to trade
Speaker 11: in there you go, you need tires, You got to
Speaker 11: correct windshields, so the car's work less.
Speaker 5: If someone wanted to lease the car.
Speaker 9: Let's say they want to buy a new Honda, or
Speaker 9: they want to buy a new Toyota or a new Honda,
Speaker 9: or a new Ford, a new Chevy, new stuff. I
Speaker 9: know you guys jfar can go out there and get
Speaker 9: them the best price because you go to all the
Speaker 9: different dealerships you have relationships with and just try to
Speaker 9: get them the best price.
Speaker 5: Simple as that.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 9: But if they want to lease it, how do you
Speaker 9: guys come in there? In other words, if they want
Speaker 9: to lease a new Ford, do you still go through Ford?
Speaker 5: If they have all the incentives?
Speaker 8: If they do, yes, absolutely, so you.
Speaker 9: Do all that legwork you they'll get the same deal
Speaker 9: on the lease. It's not a better deal because maybe
Speaker 9: a credit union has something better.
Speaker 8: Correct, go and direct correct.
Speaker 11: And so any incentives that are on new cars get
Speaker 11: passed to the end client.
Speaker 8: So whatever they are, if it's.
Speaker 11: At it's the same, correct, but a lot less hassle
Speaker 11: and a lot.
Speaker 9: Less hassle because you're doing it but the other and
Speaker 9: plus you're going to warn them about hey, that's only
Speaker 9: ten to a miles a year or whatever.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 9: I mean, they'll get all the good info, but do
Speaker 9: you have other avenues like if four doesn't have any
Speaker 9: big promotions going on, but of course they always do.
Speaker 5: Leasing on new vehicles. Can you sometimes get a better
Speaker 5: lease price?
Speaker 8: Absolutely all the time?
Speaker 11: Yes, I mean I love if they happen to be
Speaker 11: the best, but sometimes their best lease might not be
Speaker 11: the best for you. But you go into the idea
Speaker 11: you're going to give it back to them because it's
Speaker 11: not a good lease, but the payment works and the
Speaker 11: vehicle works.
Speaker 8: So sometimes that's the advice we'll give.
Speaker 6: What do you guys sell the most of now? Just
Speaker 6: out of curiosity new vehicles?
Speaker 9: I know you guys got a bunch you used in
Speaker 9: trade ins, But when people call you up saying I'm
Speaker 9: looking for a new what's the number one?
Speaker 8: I still think it's probably Toyota.
Speaker 23: And the reason why I'm a little bit hesitant by
Speaker 23: giving a hard number is because we got about sixty
Speaker 23: guys over there, so what we're doing and what someone
Speaker 23: else is doing that. But for the most part, I'm
Speaker 23: gonna say, Toyota.
Speaker 9: Tom, are you gonna end up getting that? What are
Speaker 9: you going to end up buying? I know you're kind
Speaker 9: well your semi in the market. I I you know.
Speaker 6: There's no reason I guess to do what I'm doing.
Speaker 6: I mean, because my car is in perfect condition with
Speaker 6: thirty thousand miles.
Speaker 7: But I like changing out cars. I mean, I'm going
Speaker 7: to admit it.
Speaker 6: I don't change them out just when they're Yeah, I
Speaker 6: don't know, I just like doing it.
Speaker 7: I really like having fun with cars. You're kind of guy.
Speaker 5: Now, I like being double Now I want a lot.
Speaker 5: Man should at least it.
Speaker 6: Well, it went from one hundred and twelve thousand to
Speaker 6: fifty eight.
Speaker 8: And do that math and by the number of months
Speaker 8: you had it.
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
Speaker 9: Well, actually that's the This could be a good lesson
Speaker 9: right here during the break, kind of give them an
Speaker 9: idea of what that lease would have been, you know
Speaker 9: the p it's a twenty twenty two, right Tom.
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty twenty two BMWX seven M fifty I so do.
Speaker 9: And if it was going to be a lease, let's
Speaker 9: see what he would have paid over this.
Speaker 5: Amount of time and see if you were truly let's
Speaker 5: see if he would have saved money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do that, but but hold on, so do
Speaker 6: it as if I was leasing it new in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty two, and how much was it?
Speaker 7: And it was the twelve.
Speaker 6: It was one twelve, but I don't know if that
Speaker 6: was MSRP. You know, I don't know what MSRP was
Speaker 6: at the time. I forget, but it was one twelve.
Speaker 6: I bought it in twenty twenty two, in about March
Speaker 6: or April.
Speaker 8: Anyway.
Speaker 6: Now come twenty twenty five, I'm being told it's worth
Speaker 6: fifty eight, top dollar fifty eight. That's on a trade,
Speaker 6: by the way.
Speaker 7: So okay, so let's see what a release.
Speaker 6: So so basically, if you take the one twelve I paid,
Speaker 6: and you subtract, you know, you subtract the money that
Speaker 6: it's worth. Right now, I spent a lot of money
Speaker 6: on this car.
Speaker 11: So that's you know, appreciation, that's what Lisa's figure, you're
Speaker 11: depreciating I spent.
Speaker 6: Okay, I spent fifty four grand on this car technically,
Speaker 6: because it's fifty four grand less than I bought it
Speaker 6: fifty four and the use of the twenty so the
Speaker 6: money three twenty four to twenty five, and that's divided
Speaker 6: by three years. So that car costs me eighteen grand
Speaker 6: a year. I can't see a lease being that much.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean it shouldn't be, you know, we do
Speaker 11: comparisons to leasing versus buying.
Speaker 7: By the way.
Speaker 6: By the way, Bob, if you want to be accurate,
Speaker 6: it was only ten thousand miles a year that you've
Speaker 6: pay one thousand miles a year. So yeah, so let's
Speaker 6: do that and figure it out. I'm Tom Martinez. Oh no,
Speaker 6: we don't have to take a break just yet. But
Speaker 6: that's what I want to do. I want to compare
Speaker 6: apples with apples in real life because people want real life,
Speaker 6: they really do. And speaking of real life, Mark, we're
Speaker 6: talking about tax credits. Buying tax credits from people who
Speaker 6: have solar systems that can't use them. You can negotiate,
Speaker 6: you can negotiate a deal, but on a particular deal.
Speaker 7: Let's say if you pay full retail.
Speaker 6: When I say full retail, you buy like one hundred
Speaker 6: and fifty thousand in credits for like one hundred and
Speaker 6: five thousand, You go back three years, recover that one
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty the government sends you a check for
Speaker 6: forty five grand. It's that easy. There's it's that easy
Speaker 6: for so anybody. Here's what I say.
Speaker 9: So you're gonna have your account and go back and
Speaker 9: modify the last two years.
Speaker 5: Basically and use those tax credits.
Speaker 6: Well, technically I could probably go back one year and
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 9: So, but yeah, say regardless, I never looked at it
Speaker 9: that way. But so there's no even I don't know.
Speaker 9: Let's take I was gonna say Steve Jobs, but that's
Speaker 9: not gonna work. Let's take Elon Musk and he's got
Speaker 9: a million dollars of taxes that he owes. So basically,
Speaker 9: you're saying you could use if you had a million
Speaker 9: dollars in credits, you could offset it in one year
Speaker 9: if you had that kind of burden.
Speaker 5: I mean, just like that. There's no limit of how
Speaker 5: many per year.
Speaker 6: No, only up to what you owe. That's the only
Speaker 6: thing you can that's the only limits.
Speaker 5: So do the rest go back over to the following years.
Speaker 7: Yes, so you can go back three years. So basically
Speaker 7: you can do the third.
Speaker 5: You're gonna save thirty percent on your taxes.
Speaker 6: I mean that's the bottom line, literally literally third. So
Speaker 6: I go back three years and each year I file,
Speaker 6: I get that whatever. I don't have to go back
Speaker 6: three but you can go back three years. You can
Speaker 6: go forward twenty years. You can buy I'm buying. I'm
Speaker 6: buying as many as I can possibly get as many
Speaker 6: as I possibly know why everybody.
Speaker 5: And wouldn't do that? And then the good news for
Speaker 5: the what I.
Speaker 6: Said, I told when I talked to Brook at Red Rocks,
Speaker 6: I said, why isn't everyone doing this? For God's sakes?
Speaker 6: Why isn't everyone doing it?
Speaker 5: I don't know, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 7: It's the most it's the most easy brain.
Speaker 9: I mean, I can't think of a reason why you
Speaker 9: go through the brain surgery on the first round. And
Speaker 9: if everything is what you're saying, there is no way
Speaker 9: I'm not doing it every year.
Speaker 5: I guess part of it is binding the tax credits.
Speaker 6: That's right, and that's where you have to have a
Speaker 6: reputable solar company who has customers who want to sell them.
Speaker 7: Look at it.
Speaker 6: I'm not trying I don't want to build a market
Speaker 6: for this. I'm not trying to advertise this because I
Speaker 6: want to do it and I don't want people acing
Speaker 6: me out.
Speaker 7: I don't want it turning into a bidding war.
Speaker 6: I listen, she promised me right now I could buy
Speaker 6: everything she has, and I'm.
Speaker 7: Going to buy them. I mean, why wouldn't you? This
Speaker 7: is a hidden gem.
Speaker 6: This is like buying This is like the same no
Speaker 6: risk thing is buying tax certificates on land and houses
Speaker 6: and properties. If I buy a tax certificate, I will
Speaker 6: be guaranteed of the default interest or well no matter,
Speaker 6: or I get the land for the price of taxes.
Speaker 7: Buying tax certificates.
Speaker 6: Here's where people get in trouble buying tax certificates. They
Speaker 6: go to an auction and they pay premiums for them.
Speaker 6: So instead of paying just the taxes do, they end
Speaker 6: up paying a percentage above that. And then you have
Speaker 6: idiots who think, oh, I'm going to get a tax certificate.
Speaker 6: And when you have an idiot, whenever there are idiots
Speaker 6: and auctions, it's a bad auction. You want smart bidders.
Speaker 6: Idiots overpay for everything. So they go to a tax auction.
Speaker 6: Let's say where they're four grand ode on taxes. If
Speaker 6: you buy that for four grand, you're guaranteed interest on
Speaker 6: that four grand, and I think now it's nine or
Speaker 6: ten percent, or you get the property for ten grand.
Speaker 6: But you get an idiot in there that you bid
Speaker 6: ten grand. They bid ten grand with one thousand dollars premium,
Speaker 6: and then somebody else bids ten grand with a two
Speaker 6: thousand dollars premium and then ten grand with a fourteen
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, the interest you're making on the
Speaker 6: ten grand because you don't make interest on the premium,
Speaker 6: so you make interest on the ten grand. You don't
Speaker 6: even make enough interest to pay for the premium. That's
Speaker 6: what you call an idiot when they So, you never
Speaker 6: want to be in an auction with an idiot. You
Speaker 6: want someone who understands financing. What were you going to say,
Speaker 6: d Hey, there's one risk. This is in the context
Speaker 6: of the solar tax credits. No repine, there is one
Speaker 6: risk that surround of you have discussed yet is but
Speaker 6: it is moderated by the fact that you're working with
Speaker 6: Brooke from REGA.
Speaker 7: What is the risk?
Speaker 16: Okay, they're rescindable. So the system for which the tax
Speaker 16: credit was issued must be an operation for a certain
Speaker 16: number of years following the issuance of this tax credit.
Speaker 8: Or it will be rescinded.
Speaker 7: Tell me what you.
Speaker 5: Mean by that.
Speaker 16: Well, so you build this solar system, get your tax credit,
Speaker 16: and then the system goes offline. You either scrap it
Speaker 16: or it doesn't work, or it's destroyed by hail and
Speaker 16: you never fix it.
Speaker 6: Does does it Okay, I never even thought of how
Speaker 6: long does the IRSA? It must be an operation for years.
Speaker 6: Let's ask a book about that. Yeah, that is, let's
Speaker 6: get her on the phone. That's a good point.
Speaker 7: I thought it was only you.
Speaker 6: All you need is an activation and then you're locked in.
Speaker 9: Maybe now, Demetrius, maybe the tax credit's Brooks selling have
Speaker 9: already been in operation for whatever three years.
Speaker 7: No, No, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's not I can tell you that for sure, Mark,
Speaker 6: they're brand new systems with an activation date. They're brand
Speaker 6: new systems. But it is a good question. What happens
Speaker 6: if the solar system or they sell that house and
Speaker 6: they wreck this, you know whatever. We'll say the solar
Speaker 6: system goes down after a year or two of three?
Speaker 7: Does that mean you.
Speaker 6: Have to give that that the people are responsible for
Speaker 6: that tax credit? And can you put in the sale
Speaker 6: that if they do anything to kill their system, they
Speaker 6: have to pay the burden.

Speaker 6: Hi Tom Rchino, you're a troubleshooter three oh three seven
Speaker 6: one three talk seven one three eight two five five Peter,
Speaker 6: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: What's going on?
Speaker 8: Peter?
Speaker 13: Hey Tom, I just have a shout out for local
Speaker 13: business and a couple other comments too.
Speaker 7: Sure, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 13: So for my shout out, that would be for Mercedes
Speaker 13: Benz of Denver. We bought a new car last year
Speaker 13: and then had a mechanical issue with it. And yeah,
Speaker 13: they gave us a loaner to use for about six months,
Speaker 13: and then they were unable to fix the problem with
Speaker 13: the car. So they they actually said go ahead and
Speaker 13: pick out a new car and we'll make it right.
Speaker 13: And they were. They allowed us to do a few
Speaker 13: upgrades that we wouldn't have done otherwise, and they they
Speaker 13: ate the difference.
Speaker 7: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Isn't that sonic? A sonic dealership that I don't know?
Speaker 27: I don't.
Speaker 6: I'm glad he's Is it on Colorado Boulevard? Is it
Speaker 6: the Mercedes of downtown Denver?
Speaker 7: Could be so.
Speaker 9: Mad at Mercedes, not not necessarily the dealer. The dealer
Speaker 9: sounded great. But you buy a brand new Mercedes and
Speaker 9: you want to drive it. You picked it out, but
Speaker 9: you can't drive it because they can't fix it for
Speaker 9: six months.
Speaker 5: That sounds horrible.
Speaker 7: What was the issue? What was the issue?
Speaker 18: Peter?
Speaker 13: We had a loaner that whole time, though, and so
Speaker 13: that's cool.
Speaker 6: I understand that. But Peter, what is the issue? What
Speaker 6: was the issue with your the one you bought?
Speaker 13: Yeah? The problem we had is my wife was driving
Speaker 13: it and it wouldn't accelerate on the highway, and then
Speaker 13: they continued to test it and were able to kind
Speaker 13: of duplicate it, but they didn't know why it did that.
Speaker 5: That's weird.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: Lemon law would have kicked in instantly. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 5: they took care of us, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 13: I mean the time that they had it, we were
Speaker 13: looking at, you know, potentially going that route through an
Speaker 13: attorney and.
Speaker 9: And guys, understand what I said, the dealership sounds like
Speaker 9: they stepped up and did great. I just can't imagine
Speaker 9: buying a new any brand and it because you know,
Speaker 9: at that point they probably flew in an engineer from
Speaker 9: Mercedes to look at it. I mean, when they have
Speaker 9: a vehicle six months someone from the manufacturers showing up, right, guys,
Speaker 9: and they still couldn't fix it. That's just crazy to me.
Speaker 13: Yeah, they had no clue why you know what she
Speaker 13: was with it. And then for my other comments, if
Speaker 13: I can move on from that too, tom Us talked
Speaker 13: about the lady with the golf course property where they
Speaker 13: had offered her a million dollars and she was I
Speaker 13: think ninety two. That's why I apologized that this is
Speaker 13: already brought up. But because of the capital gains taxes
Speaker 13: that she would have had on that she would have
Speaker 13: been approximately seven hundred thousand dollars worth of capital gains
Speaker 13: taxes that she would have been subject to on that end.
Speaker 6: Well whoa wait, wait, you're right, you go, Well, she
Speaker 6: would have been able to shelter only two hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty grand. She bought it for like next to nothing,
Speaker 6: like seventy something thousand, so or no, no, no, it
Speaker 6: was like thirty something thousand. She was selling it for
Speaker 6: how many million do they said? I say two million?
Speaker 6: Or one million?
Speaker 13: It was said one but yeah, okay, if it.
Speaker 6: Was one million, she she basically would would shelter two
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty thousand and have about seven hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty And you're right, seven hundred and fifty subject to tax.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And so you know, taking out a reverse mortgage
Speaker 13: would have been a good option for her a lot
Speaker 13: of things because when she sort of passed away to
Speaker 13: be able to pass that on to her air to
Speaker 13: then get the stepped up value, then they would be
Speaker 13: able to.
Speaker 6: What a good idea, what a great idea?
Speaker 13: So yeah, so she made the right choice by not
Speaker 13: taking that money now, and then.
Speaker 7: You're right, her heirs, her airrs could do it.
Speaker 6: Her airs could do it, You're right, and they would
Speaker 6: have the stepped up bases not pay as much in
Speaker 6: taxes and that if she has kids, that would be great.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure she does, but that is a good point.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 6: Now, when we come back, we're going to answer that.
Speaker 6: Thank you when we come back.
Speaker 5: One thing, are you look.
Speaker 7: Pete, I don't. I got to take a break. It
Speaker 7: doesn't matter if he does or not.
Speaker 6: Okay, listen, when we come back, Brook from Red Rocks
Speaker 6: roof and Solar, we'll talk about how long does the
Speaker 6: solar system have to remain in.
Speaker 7: Effect for that credit to be good?

Speaker 6: your troubleshooter three oh three seven one three talk three
Speaker 6: oh three seven one three.
Speaker 7: Two five five, Brook White, we were talking.
Speaker 6: About buying tax credits where people have solar systems, can't
Speaker 6: use the credits, they don't spend enough in taxes or
Speaker 6: then't don't have enough taxes.
Speaker 7: So they sell their credits to get cash.
Speaker 6: You can buy them for a deal, And I said,
Speaker 6: what moron would not want.
Speaker 7: To buy tax credits. You can pay for taxes.
Speaker 6: And you get a thirty percent discount or more, and
Speaker 6: then and you use those credits to pay your taxes.
Speaker 7: And then Dimitri.
Speaker 6: Said he read where the risk is even if you
Speaker 6: have an activated system, the risk is if it goes
Speaker 6: offline for any reason, you have to pay those credits back.
Speaker 28: I mean, I'm not sure if there's a specific time
Speaker 28: link or something that he wants me to review where
Speaker 28: he found this information. Because warranty claims happen all the
Speaker 28: time on the equipment where the equipment, you know, might
Speaker 28: be down for a couple of weeks while an inverter
Speaker 28: get swapped out. But I've never once heard of anybody
Speaker 28: having to repay a tax credit because of a situation
Speaker 28: like that.
Speaker 6: Well how about a situation Well no, no, no, no, no no, no,
Speaker 6: we're not talking about We're not talking about a normal repair.
Speaker 7: What we're talking about is this. Let's say they get
Speaker 7: a tax credit, they have the system on their house.
Speaker 6: Let's say they have to move real quick because of something.
Speaker 6: The new owners don't want the system, or they don't
Speaker 6: activate it, or it's not running, or it goes out
Speaker 6: of order and it's not fixed, or as Mark said,
Speaker 6: they get so bold as they take the equipment off
Speaker 6: the roof and sell it. I'm just saying, is there
Speaker 6: anything in the law that says the system must be
Speaker 6: active for a certain number of years after receiving a
Speaker 6: tax credit.
Speaker 28: Yeah, I've never seen any documentation that's like that. The
Speaker 28: only documentation that I know of is if you build
Speaker 28: a solar field, you have a priceis per agreement with
Speaker 28: the utility company, so you are required to send them
Speaker 28: so much power from the solar field that they're buying
Speaker 28: it for. So that's a contract that you could get
Speaker 28: in trouble for. But for a normal house, I've never
Speaker 28: seen that, because if your house isn't producing, the utility
Speaker 28: company's just going to charge you what what you use
Speaker 28: for power anyways, so they actually make more money by
Speaker 28: you not getting your system activated.
Speaker 9: So it's your funmitre though running Demitri you're reading this
Speaker 9: from the IRS, right where are you reading this info?
Speaker 16: So I did some research show on this last night,
Speaker 16: and I can't remember what my sources, but I'm going
Speaker 16: to come up with it again and I'll forward it
Speaker 16: to Brook to see if I was.
Speaker 6: There is no federal mandate on the duration the system
Speaker 6: operation must take post installation.
Speaker 7: They concentrate on the first year only.
Speaker 6: It's important to note that if the system is taken
Speaker 6: out of service shortly after installation, it may raise questions
Speaker 6: with the IRS in an audit. Therefore, maintaining the system's
Speaker 6: operation to ensure compliance during the first year will avoid
Speaker 6: any issues there is. This is now I'm going by
Speaker 6: Chat GPT. This is not Tom Martine. I'm not getting
Speaker 6: in a sword fight here. All I'm saying is is
Speaker 6: that the according to Chat GPT, there is no mandate
Speaker 6: time the system must be up and running.
Speaker 5: And even if they did audit it.
Speaker 7: But hold on, but even Chat has been wrong before.
Speaker 9: Even if they did audit it the IRS, I would
Speaker 9: still have the assumption they're not going to go after
