seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five.
If you're streaming the show, you just wondered, who's that
ugly face I just brought up? That is my man,
Peter Boyles. Peter Boyles joins me today in the Mothership
home studio.

Speaker 7 (00:43):
Do you like it? Pete? Do you like what you're seeing?
What do you think? Brother?

Speaker 8 (00:47):

I haven't done the video tour. But and we we

Peter that Mike is covering your face just a little bit.
It's the best we can do with okay anyway, Yeah,
it's the good part is covering.

Speaker 7 (01:04):
So that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
Three O three seven one three talks seven one three
eight two five five. Is the Mothership open and on
and accountable? Should I bring up the Mothership? Who's there?

Speaker 7 (01:15):
Mark?

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Nobody?

Speaker 8 (01:17):
Mark?

Speaker 9 (01:17):
Now we're all here, smart and myself. We've got two
guys JFR cars join us.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
Yes here now, Oh guys, good now, JFR Cars.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
We have Bob with us from JFR up here.

Speaker 10 (01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
I've been bugging Bob about I've been bugging Bob about
leasing leasing cars little, I think, and I've come to
believe financially, business wise and everything, as long as you
don't go over miles or you don't turn in early,
leasing is the best option anyone can ever do with

(01:55):
a car, bar none. Mathematically, there is no downside whatsoever.
When you lease the car, they guarantee to buy it
back at a certain price. If it goes up in value,
you can keep it and sell it, or just keep it.
If it goes down in value, you turn it in
and walk away. You're simply doing what you use I
think the biggest problem people get into with a lease,

(02:15):
The biggest problem One they don't keep the mileage, and
two they want to turn it in early, and Bob,
under those scenarios, if you do that, you're in bad shape.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Isn't that true?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:30):
Most of the time.

Speaker 11 (02:31):
You know, what dealers like to do is put you
in the lowest mileage lease and it gets you the
lowest payment, and they don't talk to you about how
many miles you drive.

Speaker 8 (02:38):
That's why they get in trouble.

Speaker 11 (02:40):
If you drive fifteen thousand miles a year, you should
write a fifteen thousand miles a year lease and then
you've got no issues at the end.

Speaker 9 (02:47):
Where does it not make sense? Like we drive twenty
five thousand miles a year, so you can.

Speaker 8 (02:52):
Write leases at twenty five thousand miles a year.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
See Yeah, but now, now, Bob, does it still pay?
Do high mileage leases still pay?

Speaker 12 (03:00):
Do?

Speaker 8 (03:00):
So?

Speaker 11 (03:00):
The biggest thing that makes a car depreciate is miles,
so when you own that car, it depreciates just as fast.
But the nice part about the lease is you've got
an into it and you've got an out at the
end of the lease. If the car's not worth the
residual value at twenty five thousand miles per year, you
still can give it back to them.

Speaker 8 (03:17):
So you have the upside potential out the downside risk.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Absolutely Well, welcome one and all to the Troubleshooter Show
and we'll be talking to Peter as we go on.
And yeah, so what I want to do now is
take Alberta, who was first up. She is the owner
of a house and has a tenant issue. Now, Alberta,
is this a room you're renting from your home where

(03:41):
you live in it with the renter or is this
a separate rental?

Speaker 10 (03:46):
No, this is my home. They live inside the a
two bedroom here.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
And you're renting one of the bedrooms.

Speaker 10 (03:55):
I'm renting two of the bedrooms.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Okay, but where do you live third bedroom?

Speaker 10 (04:01):
Yes, same same house.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Stole one house, so you live in the same house
with your two tenants.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
What's the issue, we're Alberta. What's the issue.

Speaker 13 (04:10):
Well, one of.

Speaker 10 (04:11):
Them is my son in law, and he didn't pay
rent in October because of my hot water heater went out.
It took me a minute to buy me a right.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
He's not allowed to. He's not allowed to withhold all his.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
Rent for that right.

Speaker 13 (04:30):
And so now this son in law, how is.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
This your son in law? By the way, how is
this guy your son in law? Was he married to
your daughter?

Speaker 10 (04:37):
He is married to my daughter.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
Is your daughter living there too, yes, sir, okay.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
So they rent a room together and they did not
pay for October exactly.

Speaker 10 (04:50):
And then he texted me yesterday and told me because
of the water heater that I purchased it was defective.
That he's only going to pay me three hundred dollars
for this for next month.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Okay, hold on, but without further ado. Let's get Brad
O'Brien on. Let's get Brat O'Brien on. I want to
know what we can do. This is our attorney who
does real estate. Hang on, Alberta, We're gonna get you
some help. Three oh three seven one three. Talk Hailey,
This seems to be rental kind of day, Hailey, what's

(05:22):
going on with you? Hi?

Speaker 14 (05:26):
So I was roommating with my best friend of eighteen
years and we ended up having a falling out and
she ended up leaving and pretty much sticking me with
the rent. And I live in downtown Denver, so you
can imagine it's pretty expensive. So I was just trying
to see like my options or what.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Okay, let's talk about it. Here's let's talk about it
one step at a time. First and foremost, were you
both on the lease?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (05:57):
Now is the least writ that you're responsible? You both
are responsible for all of it, or you're each responsible
for half, So we are.

Speaker 14 (06:09):
Both responsible for hash.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
So let me ask you this. This is the real question.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
So your landlord broke that lease that you're each responsible
for half, so when your friend moves out, you don't
have to pay the other half.

Speaker 14 (06:25):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
So why don't you just live there for half rent?
Why would you want another roommate?

Speaker 14 (06:32):
Oh, I'm sorry, so I have to know I'm responsible
for the full amount. She had fabricated a police report
and presented them with that, and so they excuse her
for the rent.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
No, the police, the police don't get this hold on
the police don't get to excuse anyone for anything. The
police aren't judges. Well, what do you mean that they
excused her? Who excused her?

Speaker 10 (06:58):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (06:58):
The lead the reading all this when they presented the.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
False Okay, so, Hayley, what's your friend's name? What's your
friend's name? First name?

Speaker 15 (07:07):
Kaylen? O?

Speaker 7 (07:12):
Friend's first name is what?

Speaker 10 (07:15):
Kaylan?

Speaker 7 (07:17):
Kaylin?

Speaker 16 (07:18):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Now did here's what I need to know?

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Caylin presented what kind of a police report was it
against you?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (07:28):
Allegedly, I haven't been well what happened was? She said
that there was a restraining order. But I have not
been served. It's been almost three weeks and I have
not been served any kind of paperwork. I have no
idea what's really even going on, And so they excused
her without even really.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Well, you keep saying, okay, they excused her, Okay, so
did they then say? So they let her out of
the lease, and now you're you're you're stuck with the
whole lease. Well, guess what, you have a civil action again,
kl Caylan can't just leave just because even if the
landlord let her out of the lease, is she is

(08:07):
she accusing you of assault or something?

Speaker 17 (08:10):
Yes, that that did not happen.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Okay, you got a problem, Hailey. Does this landlord expect
you to pay the whole thing?

Speaker 10 (08:23):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (08:23):
And my biggest issue comes with in the next last
or yesterday, I received an email because at the beginning
of the month she did pay her portion for April
and I paid mine, but they had refunded her that.
So I'm expected to pay not only her portion of
May and June, but also I guess I have to
pay aprils now and I just don't. That can't be

(08:45):
legal in my life.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
I don't know why, Haley.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
The landlord accepted a three way lease, okay, the two
of you and him or her, So the fact that
the landlord let that person out of the lease could
be construed as a breach of contract.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
I'm not sure. Again, we'll ask Brad O'Brien and Brad.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Is on right now. He's a real estate attorney. Brad,
this is an odd one. I just want to run
this by you first. Now, Hailey was renting with a friend,
so it was Haley and Caylin.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
They were renting a room. They both signed the lease.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
The roommate Hailey's roommate, Kaylin, accused her and Hailey says falsely,
but accused her of assault and wanted to move out.
So the landlord let Caylan out of the lease. That
in effect made Hailey responsible for the holease. My question

(09:53):
to you, Brad, if the landlord signed a lease with
two people and arbitrayer lets one of them off, aren't
they in effect breaching the lease because they're putting an
extra burden on that.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Other person?

Speaker 6 (10:09):
I mean, how do you look at this If there
was a three people on the lease, the two roommates,
the landlord, then the landlord arbitrarily releases one of them
and says, go ahead, you can leave. We're not going
to hold you responsible and now they're going after Haley
for the whole amount. How does that set with you?

Speaker 15 (10:27):
I have not revieated this lease, so I have to
assume it's the typically drafted lease. And if landlords do
like to get roommates on the same lease and make
them joint and severally liable, that means that each tenant,
each roommate is liable for the entire rent for both roommates.
So even if one doesn't pay the other one, they
can go out then can go after the other one

(10:47):
for the full rent for both of them. Normally, typically
after lease does not have any covenants or agreements between
the two tenants, they would need their side.

Speaker 18 (10:57):
Agreement for something like this.

Speaker 15 (10:59):
So if the landlord lets one of the tenants off
of a joint leads, I don't do that.

Speaker 18 (11:04):
I mean not having seen the lease.

Speaker 15 (11:06):
If there's anything particular about the situation, I don't do
that as a breach in the contract.

Speaker 18 (11:09):
But a landlord at all for by the other tenant.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Left way, they all be responsible for everything generally, right,
Like our daughter lives with two other people, kind of
like at a campus place where there's three different rooms,
then there's a kitchen they all use and a family room.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
But they're all responsible.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
It doesn't matter if someone else moved out, Mark, No one's.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
No one's arguing that they are jointly and severally that
they are responsible. She is, she is, She is obligated
on the lease. But my question was, didn't the landlord
have some obligation to keep both of them on the
lease since eas side with both of them. Brad is saying, no,
it's not a breach of the contract, and Haley is
simply responsible for the whole thing. Now I don't understand.

(12:00):
I just don't. So Haley can't afford it right now, so.

Speaker 9 (12:05):
Why Hey, that's exactly what I was saying. No, Tom,
If if ten people rent a house from me and
they're all students, and I use that because I've lived
through it, each one is it is responsible, no matter
what if everybody else moves out.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
No, nobody'sys Mark, nobody's disputing that.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Nobody's disputing that.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Nobody is disputing that Haley is responsible for the whole thing.
No one disputes it. The point is she can't afford it.
She's got to leave, and then the guy's gonna probably
come after her for breach.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
What were you gonna say, Deputy d go ahead.

Speaker 16 (12:39):
The question for Brad is does the landlord have any
duty to treat Haley the same way he treated her
roommate and now offer her a chance to get out
of the lease as well.

Speaker 18 (12:50):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 19 (12:53):
She's the one that was doing the batter ring. Then
why wasn't she kicked out and Kaylin left in?

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Because Kaylan probably knew she couldn't afford it on her own,
and Kaylan was looking for an excuse.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
Kaylan was looking for an excuse.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Brad, if if if she could prove, if Haley could
prove that these accusations were false, would that do anything
to the landlord's action that he let her out for
safety reasons?

Speaker 18 (13:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (13:24):
I mean the first place to look at the least
and that that has language.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Okay, that's not helpful for this color.

Speaker 18 (13:31):
But there's some.

Speaker 15 (13:31):
Nolan you could bring, like, uh, it's a breach of
the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. You know,
there's probably some vague kind of legal plan you could
assert to get this into court, but.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
At this point, it which it's cheaper to pay the
rent until she can leave Hailey under these circumstances. I
need to ask this a very simple question. If you
could find a place to live, will the landlord let you.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
Out of the lease?

Speaker 14 (13:59):
I expected to hey the remaining months, whether I leave
earlier or not, unfortunately, And.

Speaker 7 (14:05):
When when is the lease up? When is the lease up?

Speaker 14 (14:09):
The lease is up in June, but it's it's a
three thousand dollars a month of apartment, and so it's going.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
To be nine grand for you to see it through
nine grand and you don't have it.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
Will he allow you to get another roommate?

Speaker 14 (14:25):
They I haven't really spoke to them about that, but
there's nobody that I really like have that can move
into just for two months. But I was just hoping
if you guys had any like rental relief, if you
guys knew anything like that at all, would be help.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Well, No, Haley, you heard our attorney. You heard Brad O'Brien,
a real estate attorney. He didn't see your lease, but
he's saying, under most circumstances, you're responsible for the whole thing.
Your roommates responsible for the whole thing. But the landlord
released your roommate, which leaves you responsible for the whole thing.
And really, unless you had a private agreement with your friend,
you're stuck with the whole thing. That's the unfortunate truth.

(15:04):
And if you can't pay it, the worst it's gonna
happen is you're gonna be evicted and he's gonna probably
try to come after you for the money. I'm Tom

you call me daddy from now on.

Speaker 8 (18:25):
Hey, I have underwear older than Mark Major. I get it.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
It's like I want to talk to Alberta because we
do have our expert on Alberta.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
Let's talk to Brad O'Brien.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Now, Brad, Alberta is renting to her daughter and son
in law a room in her home. The son in
law is arbitrarily withholding rent based on the hot water heater.
They did not have hot water for a month. He
withheld rent. She fixed the hot water heater. He doesn't
like it, he said it's inadequate, so he's still withholding rent. Alberta,

(19:02):
how much rent do they normally pay every month? If
they were to pay the rent? How much is it?

Speaker 8 (19:09):
Six D.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Six hundred? And how much have they withheld in total?
Nine nine hundred? So they withheld one they would so
they withheld one.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
Full month and half of the next. Is that right?

Speaker 6 (19:29):
Yes, So they're arbitrarily withholding rent based on the availability
of hot water.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Is that right?

Speaker 18 (19:40):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (19:43):
Brad? What do you think about that? What do you
think about that?

Speaker 12 (19:47):
Well, I don't have a lease.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Them.

Speaker 18 (19:50):
The warrants you've had.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
You don't have a written lease, is no go ahead.

Speaker 15 (19:55):
I mean the warrant to habit ability applies whether or
not there's a lease. All tenants have the right to
a habit premises for what they rent. So you know,
the landlord has to provide habitable place, hot water, electricity,
you know, those kind of things. And that is really
separate from the payment of rent. So the tenant has

(20:17):
to continue paying rent separate from the habitability concern, which
they need to pursue separately and follow the steps.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, and they're very hard to follow because most people can.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
And I did a video, by the way, I can
plug right now. I did a video that's on YouTube
and also on LinkedIn about how to do it properly,
and I based that on Brad gave me some information
and then he told me the law, and I went
to the law and outlined some basic steps. But man,

(20:47):
they can't just stop paying rent.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Now. Can she start an eviction process? Brad?

Speaker 15 (20:53):
Yes, she can on non payment of rent. Of course,
the lieutenant will counterclaim for breaching the warranty in habitability.
All have to get worked out.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
Hey, Brad, can I just if I've got a double
wide trailer sitting out in Watkins, Colorado? Can I rent
it out to ten different people? I Mean, isn't there
laws on what she can rent out or not. I mean,
if she's just running rooms out, can I just simply
rent out every room in my house and never have
an issue?

Speaker 5 (21:20):
How does that work?

Speaker 18 (21:22):
Well?

Speaker 15 (21:23):
Law changed on this really last year where counties can't
limit the number of occupants by family relationships.

Speaker 18 (21:31):
So that that's one thing.

Speaker 15 (21:32):
But there's a fire code which I do ultimate restrictions,
so you can't have more people in a dwelling than
fire code would allow.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
So if you've got twenty, okay, Brad?

Speaker 7 (21:42):
What about private?

Speaker 6 (21:43):
What about private hoas having rules on how many people
can live, whether related or not? Are they are they
usurped by local authorities?

Speaker 18 (21:54):
Well? I think it's new.

Speaker 15 (21:56):
I believe this new statute that said local jurisdictions cannot
the occupancy of dwellings does apply to hias because they
are quasi governmental bodies.

Speaker 18 (22:07):
They're not they're not strictly private.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
So the so h joys can no longer say only
two parties unrelated, you know, only related parties, or only
two unrelated parties.

Speaker 7 (22:17):
Or only three people.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
I mean, in other words, those HOA things are out
out the window.

Speaker 15 (22:23):
I don't think no answers no, But I don't get
joys were ever doing that putting those kind of restrictions.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
On, Oh yeah they were, I know, Hia's that would
tell you how many could live in a home.

Speaker 15 (22:35):
No, but I think what I was getting to was
the familiar familial relationships having like, okay, family in the
same place, not strictly not.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
Okay, okay, Yeah, years ago, years ago, I used a
boiler plate hoa when I was developing subdivisions, and one
of them had a clause in there that only that
there could only be two unrelated parties in the house.
And I, like, I said, that's probably illegal, probably cannot

(23:09):
be enforced.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
But it was years and years ago.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Brad O'Brien, you're a wealth of information, so Alberta, you're
gonna have to start an eviction process unfortunately, okay, And
don't try to do it alone if you don't know
the steps, and then they're going to probably argue back.
But this son in law sounds like a pain in
the ass. How long has he been your son in law?

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Over six years? And he lives here and he just
pays the six hundred. He didn't help me with the utilities,
nor does he pick up his dog feces in the backyard,
kick him.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
To the curb.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
I would get rid of them.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Will will that cause a problem between you and your daughter?

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Daughter?

Speaker 6 (23:46):
To get rid of Will that cause a problem between
you and your daughter?

Speaker 7 (23:49):
If you get rid of them?

Speaker 10 (23:51):
Yes, I won't get rid of my daughter because she
has some severe medical issues.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
But well you you can't just evict him. They are
they each renting one room? Or are they renting a
room together?

Speaker 10 (24:05):
No, he rents one room, he pays the rent. It's
for both of them.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
So yeah, but when you evict them, when you evict
that least there that not least. But when you evict
that tenant, she's part of that. She's going to be
evicted too.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Well why couldn't she just move in with her mom
at that point?

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Then?

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Well she can, she can, but technically she's evicting both
of them. I think, okay, Dimitri, go ahead.

Speaker 16 (24:33):
Hey Tom, I was hoping to tailor Brad's response a
little more narrowly in order to address Alberta's ultimate goal.
And I don't think Alberta ever told us what it
is Solberta. Her goals is to get rid of him
are make them pay. I didn't say that Alberta are
you trying to get him to make up for the
back rent or do you want to kick him out?

Speaker 8 (24:49):
What is what is your preference?

Speaker 10 (24:52):
Oh? I wanted him to make up for the back rent,
and I want to increase his rent because he's only
paying six hundred.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Do you have a job difference? Does that make well?
He does?

Speaker 7 (25:04):
Okay, yeah, but Alberta has a huge show.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
So Brad, if Alberta wants to change the terms of
the verbal or if she wants to make them sign
a lease, can she do that and then start from scratch?

Speaker 18 (25:18):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (25:19):
The rent once are rolling twelve months and upon sixty
days of prior written notice.

Speaker 10 (25:26):
Oh, sixty days.

Speaker 6 (28:32):

Speaker 7 (28:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 22 (28:37):
Yeah, and exterminated the place too, and and thank you
for letting us know.

Speaker 7 (28:42):

Speaker 6 (28:43):
And he deserves and I'm going to pull out my
dinger right now. He deserves my dinger for sure. And
I like using the dinger because if you don't use it, it

Speaker 7 (28:55):
And so there you go.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Bo.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
You've you've probably.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Visited a dozen and consumers by now and helping them
out with problems.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five.
All right.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
I have a text on leasing a car, and they said,
this is for Bob Perry with JFR cars. They want
to know if they lease with high mileage, don't they
pay more than if they lease with lower mileage. And
of course the answer is yes, because you're you're leasing,
you're paying four.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
What you're using is that right, Bob.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
That is correct.

Speaker 11 (29:31):
So when they determine the residual value at the end,
it's determined based on how many miles are on the
car and no more than average wear and tear. So
if they drive more miles, it makes the car worthless,
so of course the payment's going to be higher.

Speaker 9 (29:44):
You get hit big time too with diminished value. If
you're in an accident, you go to turn it in
and they're going to take ten twenty percent off the top.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Nope, that's amazing.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Yeah, if you have a bad car, fact, you can
still return it.

Speaker 11 (29:57):
Wow, yep and still get the full residual Well, so
I mean you're not gonna get built for the diminished value.
So as long as you're in line with the miles
and you don't have excessive wear and tear, yeah, you
don't get builed.

Speaker 7 (30:11):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Another question if you do a low mileage lease and
pay less and you go over is that does that
take away the benefit of leasing?

Speaker 11 (30:25):
I mean not really, you're gonna so the only time
you would pay excess mileage is if you go to
the end of the lease, turn the car in and
you're over miles. If you end up buying the car,
doing something different with it's you don't get build mileage,
so it doesn't necessarily take away have you.

Speaker 7 (30:40):
Ever had people good?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (30:43):
Does it take away the benefits?

Speaker 5 (30:45):
No?

Speaker 7 (30:47):
You know, you should try and be accurate.

Speaker 11 (30:48):
So usually when you write excess mileage up front, it's
less per mile than they charge you at the end.
So if you really feel like you're gonna drive more miles,
you should do it up front.

(32:17):
Welcome to the show. Sarah's got a problem with a
landlord tenant issue here.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
So, Sarah, are you landlord or tenant?

Speaker 12 (32:27):
I'm the tenant.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (32:30):
It's like landlord day man or tenant day. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (32:34):
So I was in here for just this is a background.
I wasn't here since April of last year. I finned
it whatever, and I was intending to stay another year.
And I've been asking her since if I could get
a list renol and she hasn't reached out, and she's
leaving me like not with any notice, and it's already passed.

Speaker 7 (32:57):
Okay, hold on, hold on, I need to ask some questions.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
You have been renting since last April? Yeah, so did
you hit your one year anniversary?

Speaker 10 (33:10):
Yes, just about.

Speaker 12 (33:11):
And I've been waiting for her to give me a notice,
and she finally has given me one, But she said
that she's selling the property and that I would have
forty five days to vacate.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
Do you know why she said she's selling the property.

Speaker 12 (33:27):
She says, you can't afford it, but she didn't give
me this notice.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
No, No, here's what I'm saying, Sarah, here's what I'm saying,
And it could be a ruse.

Speaker 7 (33:36):
I just want to say this.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
There is a new law that says if you're not
going to renew a lease, you have to have just cause.
There are certain outlines for just cause. One would be
renovating the entire property. Another one would be you're selling
the property. Now it could be, Sarah, here's all I'm saying.
It could be she's not really selling the property. She

(34:01):
just wants you out of there. Okay, So but it's
not for me to say.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
You can let her know.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
You know about the law, and you want to make
sure she truly is going to sell it.

Speaker 7 (34:16):
I mean, because that is your right.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
I know a lot of people are saying, Tom, a
landlord should have a right to kick out anybody that
want any time. Not in Colorado anymore. I'm sorry they've
changed the laws. The laws are so so strong for
tenants right now that if you've been there a year,
she must give you a reason for you to leave.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
It has to be just that reason.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
I'm curious how that works with the sale part. I
know for a fact if they are going to sell it,
they can do it. But I mean, does that mean
they have to list it? Do they have tire a realtor?
And then how many days? This might be another good
Brad O'Brien question.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
Can maybe let's try to get Brad O'Brien back on
the air and answer that.

Speaker 9 (34:56):
Okay, so hold on, Sarah, We'll get an attorney. What
apps if it is a route? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
sell it. But then she's just gonna rent it out
somebody else.

Speaker 6 (35:05):

Speaker 7 (36:19):
No Tom Martinez, Hello, what's happening?

Speaker 6 (36:23):
We are having a fun car day card Friday. Well,
we haven't talked too much about cards. We talked a
little bit about leasing and UH, I have Peter Boyles
with me. He stopped by the UH satellite studio and
I get a I got this email saying, hey, Tom
and Peter. Peter and Allen Berg were my introduction to
talk radio. It was Peter's a change of tone that

(36:45):
woke me up on nine to eleven and that made
me turn.

Speaker 7 (36:49):
On the TV to see what was happening.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
I think it would be fun if you'd let Peter
do his New Year Denver parade during your show. He
does think it's the Thanksgiving parade. He does, and he's
she said she loves that, or he said it's Kim.
I don't know he or she, but it doesn't matter.
I'll say they. Then there was the time he called
Juan Valdez, what is that?

Speaker 7 (37:12):
What?

Speaker 5 (37:13):
What?

Speaker 7 (37:13):
What is Wanda? It was hilarious.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Jan Valdez, Huh do you recall it.

Speaker 21 (37:18):
It's like, you know, somebody else brought a story up
in the room and I said, I don't remember that,
and they said, oh.

Speaker 8 (37:22):
No, that happened.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Kim calling the show and tell us what you're talking about.
Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three.

Speaker 21 (37:28):
H remember after how much of the I mean, your
early days. I remember when you came to Channel four.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so Peter, Peter, you were on
the air, and Alan Berg was on the air, and
you were doing radio, and I was a guest on
Alan's show a lot.

Speaker 8 (37:44):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
And then when Alan was killed, I filled in for him,
and that's how I got my show and but got Jesus.

Speaker 8 (37:53):
That was forty years ago.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
Yeah, and and you know, we've seen all kinds of
documentaries about that.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
But we were there that night it happened.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
We were at we all gathered at the station, and uh,
it was unbelievable, horrible, unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
We couldn't believe it happened. That there's now a film.

Speaker 21 (38:10):
They've taken Kevin and Kevin Flynn and Gary gerhard Spoken
and made this film that's now.

Speaker 8 (38:15):
I came through Denver and I went and saw it.
And what is it called? Come on kid?

Speaker 7 (38:19):
Is it the Order?

Speaker 18 (38:20):
Well?

Speaker 8 (38:20):
What the original book?

Speaker 21 (38:22):
Yeah, the Silent Brothers, but they've called it something else.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
Now, Okay, they've retitled it. But I went with ken.
Was it a good movie? I you know, I'm not
a good judge of it because.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
Because we knew, because we knew Alan on a personal level,
and he was nothing but that people thought he was.

Speaker 21 (38:39):
And I knew the truth on how and why he
was killed. But yeah, you know, remove that part of it.
I don't know, because I I testified against those men,
but I didn't. I didn't know them, man, exactly. The
great work was done by Kevin and Gary. But you know,
there they are, and there they were, and now they're
back again.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
So it's like a Stephen King when you say they're
back again under what form I think.

Speaker 21 (39:08):
I think it's something that Stephen King's monsters. And this
takes a second, but Stephen King's monsters don't die when
you and I are growing up, the little kids, and
Frankenstein would die in the windmill where somebody would kill
Dracula or somebody put the bullet in the when the werewolf.
If you're and I actually had that experience with Stephen King.

(39:30):
His stuff never dies. His stuff reappears in the next book,
or the next book, or the next.

Speaker 8 (39:35):
No, I get what you mean. Yeah, and I think
that that's much of what this.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
So you're saying the white supremacists never die, of course,
there's always they always reincarnate into some other group, or.

Speaker 21 (39:46):
You see him again in another shape or another thing,
I mean, somebody else.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
And it's and it's if, as.

Speaker 21 (39:54):
You said seconds ago, if you'd have really known the
guy it was, he wasn't.

Speaker 16 (39:59):
Who's you said something interesting just a couple of minutes ago,
you said, you said that you know the truth about
that murder. So I inferred from that that the truth
you know must different. I'm all in contradiction to what
history recorded.

Speaker 8 (40:14):
No, actually it's been recorded. I wrote okay.

Speaker 21 (40:17):
On the fortieth anniversary of his murder, I wrote a
very lengthy piece for the Denver Post about exactly what
happened and the way that you know the book and
it has nothing to do with with Gary and Kevin,
because they knew the truth, but he was killed.

Speaker 8 (40:36):
There was a there was a newspaper.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
You got a second for this, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 21 (40:40):
It was called the Primrose and Cattleman's Gazette. And KOA,
the call letters of KOA stand for King of Agriculture,
and when call letters used to be designations from from
the Roosevelt administration, and.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
And KOA was big in agriculture.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
And we had remember Evan Slack and sure and that's that,
and the Farm Reports and the Cattle.

Speaker 21 (41:03):
Report absolutely and WWLS Chicago is the world's largest store
because Sears put them on the air, and so the
call letters had meaning. And so we got all the
little newspapers agrib papers from all over the state. And
we had a small tiny office. You bring got in
a million times in book, and it was it was

(41:24):
crandall myself all the time. Tommy came over and Allen
and we were right below the There was two studios.
They were on steps. And so I'm sitting here reading
the newspapers and I come across the Primrose and Cattleman's
Gazette and they had published the protocols of the Elders

(41:44):
of Zion and it was the Tzar had secret police
named the Okrana, and the Okrana published these to be
used as weapons and programs. Not the Romanov who was
killed in the end, but his father did this. And
so this, this articles appear in the Primrose and Cattleman
the Gazette. So I said to to Larry, I said,

(42:08):
Conda wants to do the show on a flu and we.

Speaker 8 (42:13):
Did a new an hour. I think you were part
of that end of one hour.

Speaker 21 (42:16):
Yeah, and Alan would come in on the tail and
then take it to the top.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
Pass the ball and these people were crazy.

Speaker 21 (42:22):
So I'm I get the guy to come on the air,
and I'm starting to say did you pay for this?
And yes, and I said I could have had it
for free. It's in public domain. And we went on
and on and on about I said, the whole thing's fabrication.
So at that moment Berg comes in and gives me
to tap right. He said, I want this guy, and

(42:43):
I said and I said to him, And I said
to and.

Speaker 7 (42:46):
This guy wasn't the actual author.

Speaker 8 (42:48):
He went, no, no, no, no, there was. He was
promoting it. It was the Okrana had written it, you know.
And there was.

Speaker 21 (42:54):
A guy they had, a guy, so Jack Moore and
blamed that he had written it or so berg ate
him up.

Speaker 8 (43:03):
I was saying, well what about this? And what about that?

Speaker 21 (43:05):
And and then so I'm done with the show, and
I went on and I started going through other Primrose
gazettes and I find all of this stuff.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
So Patricia call Patricia Callen Patricius.

Speaker 21 (43:16):
Wrote her was our first congressman, congresswoman and she was
also the head of Armed Services.

Speaker 8 (43:21):
So I called her and I.

Speaker 5 (43:23):
Said, what are you doing with this?

Speaker 21 (43:24):
You're you're you're putting ads in for the Marine Corps
and the Air Force and recruitment.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
She yanked the ads.

Speaker 21 (43:30):
So he sued Alan myself and General Electric and KOA Radio,
the newspaper publishers, yeah, a guy named Rick Elliott.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
Because they were they were publishing like unbelievable stuff.

Speaker 8 (43:43):
And by anisomitic and at the time when and they.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
Had a right to do it.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
But but Alan, Alan really Peter got him on and
Alan really dressed him really.

Speaker 21 (43:54):
And then we had full circle where what we didn't
know and what listening in the other room to Rick
Elliott and myself and then Rick and Allen was a guy.

Speaker 8 (44:06):
Named David Lane.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
Then David Lane starts contacts this guy. They start having
secret meetings and.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
He drove the car all night. They killed him.

Speaker 6 (44:14):
They had secrets. How are we going to kill this guy? Well,
how are we going to kill him? I don't think
they totally made the decision to kill him. Well until
Berg gets moved.

Speaker 21 (44:23):
The Knights, which I always thought was a mistake. And
now on KOA at night, you can get it in
your teeth.

Speaker 8 (44:28):
I mean you can get.

Speaker 21 (44:29):
All over the country. And they live in Montana. They're
up in Montana. They're in a place called Hayden Wake,
and they have a secret club boys club within this
club of white supremacy called the brutu Schweigen German for
the Silent Brothers.

Speaker 8 (44:43):
And so they get.

Speaker 21 (44:45):
Their Richard Butler was their spiritual head, and their their
alleged academician is this guy Jack Moore. Well Burg gets
them both on on one night and just goes to town.

Speaker 6 (44:58):
Yeah, so Berg was there Arch enemy. So, Peter, I'm
want to know something. Where's David Lane? Now?

Speaker 5 (45:04):
Is he dead?

Speaker 8 (45:04):
He's dead?

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Was he in prison?

Speaker 8 (45:06):
Yes? Yeah, they were.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
They were convicted of conspiracy, murder, conspiracy, right.

Speaker 21 (45:13):
No one ever was No one was ever or tried
for the murder of Alan Berg?

Speaker 7 (45:17):
What was it was?

Speaker 5 (45:18):
For other things?

Speaker 21 (45:19):
Well, the first time when we went to Seattle and
we got we got it was a Rico trial racketeering
and corrupt organizations. And we went on a Rico trial,
and Allan's murder was like number forty six or forty
seven of the counts of Rico.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
And so the one Robert J. Matthews was dead, he
died in Whibley Island, But the rest of them was
the exception of a guy named Richard Scatari. Richard's Gaitari was.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
Still Do you think the roots these guys planted do
you think they're still giving fruit in others?

Speaker 21 (45:52):
Do you think that I don't think the roots that
these guys did because or just new ones, just new
one guys took their place, just new ones.

Speaker 7 (45:59):
They keep coming back.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Listen, we'll get to your calls right after this. And
I want to get Brad O'Brien on about this Sarah's
problem because I don't really know the answer to this.
She's been renting since last April. The landlord gave notice
she's selling the place. And Mark brought up a good point,
what if they're lying about it?

Speaker 7 (46:16):
How do you know?

Speaker 6 (46:17):
Can you ask for proof? I mean, this goes into
a lot of different things. And quickly before I go
to break Rod Greer, we have a from JFAR Cars.
Someone wants to know about consigning a vehicle. They're not
talking about Jfar. They said that they were told that
another dealer does consignments, and I told them to hold

(46:39):
off Rod. When you do a consignment on a vehicle
to sell it, does it have to remain at JFR
Cars while it is on.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
While it's on for sale?

Speaker 8 (46:51):
It doesn't have to be.

Speaker 23 (46:53):
But it's so much nicer than it is because we're
now a fifty five.

Speaker 6 (46:58):
What are the fees for consigning a vehicle? What are
the fees? Do you take a percentage of the sale?

Speaker 23 (47:03):
We take a percentage of the sale or a flat
twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars and that's the best.

Speaker 6 (47:10):
And who decides the flat fee or the commission? Who
decides that.

Speaker 23 (47:14):
It's in our contract, and I decide you and we
can decide and work with the customer if the car
is worth Let's just say, if the car is eight
thousand dollars, we're not going to do eight percent. We're
going to do a flat you know what I mean.
So try to try to help the customer and our
and just to make sure we make a little bit
on the deal as well.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
But most of the time when people can sign a vehicle,
do they owe money on it.

Speaker 23 (47:39):
Most of the time they don't. But we have done that.
If the equity's in the vehicle, they're just trying to
get out.

Speaker 7 (47:46):
Okay, I got to take this quick break. Brad O'Brien's on.

Speaker 6 (47:48):
I want to come back to him and ask him
a question about breaking a lease for selling a property.

big real estate day today, a lot of questions. Brad
is with ol Or O'Brien Legal Services Online is ols
Law dot com seven two zero three seven zero seventy.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
Three eighty eight.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
Sarah got a notice after renting a year that she
has to be out in how many days, Sarah?

Speaker 10 (49:11):
She told me five?

Speaker 6 (49:15):
And she says she's selling the house now. I suspect
she said we're selling the house.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
You need to leave.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
I suspect the landlord did that for Possibly she really
is selling the house, or she knows she has to
come up with a just cause. So Mark Major had
a point, how do you know if they're really selling
the house, Brad? And can you do anything about it.
Can you ask for proof? And if she doesn't end
up selling the house, do you have any recourse?

Speaker 7 (49:44):
Brad?

Speaker 15 (49:45):
Okay, Well, this just caused lease termination statute where if
someone the tenant's been there for a year, then the
landman has to give ninety days notice that they're not
going to renew the lease.

Speaker 18 (49:58):
And in one of the reasons, and.

Speaker 15 (50:00):
They have to have a good just cause one a reason.

Speaker 18 (50:03):
One of the reasons is they want to sell.

Speaker 15 (50:05):
And if they sell, then the landlord after the tenancy
is over, the landlord cannot lease it or list it
for sale or lease for thirty days after that then
they can just do whatever they want with the property.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
Okay, So if they break the look, wait a minute,
they can get you.

Speaker 7 (50:27):
Are you saying, Brad?

Speaker 6 (50:28):
They can get you out of there on a ruse
And as long as they keep it vacant for thirty days,
they'll be clear the vacant.

Speaker 15 (50:37):
The way the statute is written, they don't have to
keep it vacant. It just says they cannot list it
for sale or rent for the thirty days after.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
So if I want to sell my place and I
evict someone and they leave, I have to keep it
for thirty days before I can list it.

Speaker 9 (50:59):
Right, Well, what MS if you already had some wonder
why I lined up Brad? In other words, you know,
let's say, hey, I know someone that's gonna rent it
from me, So I tell the lady or whoever it is,
I'm going to sell the place. I don't list it
because I already have another tenant coming in and then
they move in thirty days.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
I mean everything's cool then, right.

Speaker 18 (51:19):
Yes, that's how you can gain the statute.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
Okay, Oh I did not realize you can get around
the statute that way. It's like every law, wow, every
liberal law. So did you get ninety days notice?

Speaker 5 (51:37):
Sarah?

Speaker 10 (51:39):
No?

Speaker 12 (51:39):
No, I did not. That's why I was calling because.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
I've how much notice? Did you get forty five days?
Was it basically the forty five day notice?

Speaker 12 (51:50):
So she told me that here's the situation. She came in,
was telling me that we're going to have a look
at the house, and she tricked me saying that she
was going to come to my house today to sign
a brand new lease. And then she gave me this paper.
And it doesn't seem like it's from the quarter. It's
just something that she'd written down for me to sign,
and it's saying that she's gonna list it, list it

(52:12):
to sale, and that when it's on, when it's sold,
she's going to give us forty five days to leave.
But I'm like, that's not a ninety day notice because
I don't know when that's going to happen.

Speaker 7 (52:23):
Well, it could saying that.

Speaker 6 (52:24):
It could be it could be a ninety day notice.
I mean, it could be a ninety day notice if
she says once it sells, she's giving you forty five days.

Speaker 15 (52:33):
Hey, Tyl, I need to make a correct Brad. Go ahead, Brad,
I'm sorry. I said it was the thirty days keeping
it off the market after the Tennessee is over. Actually
it's ninety days. I looked up the statute as us
on this conference. Oh wow, they have to keep it
off the market for ninety days. But after ninety days
and the land when they can do whatever they want.
They can even re rent it.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
So it's really.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
Sad if you but if they if I wanted to
sell it, Brad, if I wanted to sell it, I
could not sell it within ninety days.

Speaker 5 (53:01):
No, you could sell it.

Speaker 15 (53:03):
You could list it for sale immediately. You cannot listen it.

Speaker 18 (53:08):
For rental.

Speaker 7 (53:11):
Okay, got it?

Speaker 8 (53:11):
Got it?

Speaker 6 (53:12):
So that's to keep people from getting someone out for
their friend to move in, because they'd have to suffer
ninety days no rent. Well, actually I hate if you
really hate the tenant, Brad, are you saying I really
if you just looked up to statue, tell me this
is it saying you just can't list it or you

(53:35):
can't rent it.

Speaker 18 (53:37):
List it, you can re rent it right away, So
you could.

Speaker 9 (53:39):
Rerent it to somebody else right away, Tom and not
wait ninety days.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
You simply can't list it for rent.

Speaker 18 (53:46):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (53:47):
So really, the the law doesn't have any teeth.

Speaker 5 (53:50):
So you're telling one of these things that sounds good, right,
that's a big we didn't know, big man.

Speaker 7 (53:59):
The law says you have to give just cause.

Speaker 6 (54:01):
But if you don't give just cause, you can just
rent it out again.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
You just can't list it. And then if you do.

Speaker 7 (54:09):
But Brad, what hold on?

Speaker 24 (54:10):
Now?

Speaker 7 (54:11):
I know where it comes into play. Brad.

Speaker 6 (54:14):
Let's say I ask my tenant to leave, and in
my mind I have someone lined up to take the place.

Speaker 7 (54:22):
I tell the tenant I'm going to.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
Sell it or I'm going to renovate it you need
to leave, and the tenant doesn't believe me and they
don't leave, and I want to go through the eviction
under that circumstance, then it would have to be a
real renovation or a real sale, right, I mean, because
then you'd be in court.

Speaker 7 (54:45):
Go ahead.

Speaker 15 (54:45):
Yeah, with renovation you have to prove it. So renovation
is another one of these just cause reasons to try
to not renew somebody. When you're using the renovation reason,
you actually do have to prove up your plans.

Speaker 18 (54:57):
And that's a.

Speaker 15 (54:58):
Tricky one to use because if depending on the length
of length of the rehab, the tenant gets the first
red of refusal to come back.

Speaker 9 (55:06):
If so, you want to lose the sale option. If
you're trying to get rid of somebody.

Speaker 15 (55:10):
Yes, the sale was the best one because you can
now it's not any old ninety days.

Speaker 18 (55:16):
It has to be the night. It has to be
in line with the end of the least term.

Speaker 15 (55:20):
So if she's on a one year least term the.

Speaker 7 (55:21):
Leonard Sorry, if you didn't give me it's at the
end of the lease.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
She gets ninety days.

Speaker 15 (55:29):
Yeah, it has to be back down the end of
the lease.

Speaker 18 (55:31):
The end of the lease. Right, It's not just like
ninety days in the.

Speaker 6 (55:36):
Mid Sarah, Sarah, when exactly does your lease end?

Speaker 12 (55:43):
It's literally ending within the next few days. That's what
I was saying, was she supposed to get ninety days
before because this is not right. She tricked me saying
that she was going to resign the lease, and then
she wrong. This paper here had me thinking that we
were going to receive it and then change her mind.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
But Brad, here's the thing. Let's say, hold on, Sarah.
Let's say she did not get ninety days notice from
the end of the lease, which she didn't. Can she
give her ninety days notice from now?

Speaker 15 (56:17):
Yes, but it'll be effective April thirtieth, twenty twenty six.
Because assuming that you're following here, renews next week, you know,
May first, I assume it is she has the.

Speaker 18 (56:28):
Right to renew, yeh.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
But if she doesn't renew the lease, I guess I'm
saying this. If the landlord comes to Sarah and says, Sarah,
I'm going to sell the house. I'll rent you month
to month, can't they just do that? Well?

Speaker 15 (56:43):
Yes, if it goes month to month starting May first,
then the landlord still has to give ninety days, but
they can get ninety days right away and it'll be
effect her three months later.

Speaker 6 (56:52):
Okay, got it. Okay, that's what I wanted to know. So, Sarah, basically,
I really think you should look for another place to live,
is what I'm thinking. I mean, yeah, because the landlord
can get they can get rid of you unless you
want to do a month to month with a ninety
days notice. I mean, tell her, tell her you're willing

(57:13):
to do months a month until you find a place.
I mean, if she has it up for sale, she
shouldn't mind that.

Speaker 12 (57:20):
What she's saying is that she doesn't know when it's
gonna She said she hasn't.

Speaker 25 (57:24):
Got gave us an adequate notice.

Speaker 12 (57:26):
She's saying that basically it could be like full tomorrow.
I don't know how long she's put it on the market.
And then she's saying that when.

Speaker 25 (57:32):
She knows, I have forty five days to leave.

Speaker 12 (57:35):
So I don't know when she doesn't know either. She
just brung this here like it's a retaliation because.

Speaker 7 (57:40):
Well, she's going about it the wrong way.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
What she gets ninety days from what I'm understanding, right.

Speaker 15 (57:46):
Yeah, but if she renews for another year, starting in
May first.

Speaker 18 (57:50):
Then she's locked in for another year.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
But they're not renewing. They're not renewing.

Speaker 6 (57:56):
What they're saying to her is we don't This is
what they're saying, Sarah, we don't know when this is
gonna sell, but we're happy to rent to you until
it sells. And when we sell it, we'll give you
forty five days. Isn't that what they're saying to you, Sarah?

Speaker 10 (58:09):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (58:10):
Well, but Sarah, okay, right to renew next week for
another year?

Speaker 2 (58:15):
She does.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Yeah, So how does she do that, Brad?

Speaker 18 (58:21):
She demands a new lease, Simple.

Speaker 9 (58:23):
As that, because she wasn't given the proper notice. Right,
you need to demand a new lease. Then, even if
she does sell. Listen, even if she does sell the house,
the new owner of the house has to abide by
that lease, right, Brad, Yes, and then that person would
have to give you ninety days next year. I agree

(58:44):
with what Sarah is saying. They're trying to tricker in
getting out of there.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
Oh, so they screwed up. And because they screwed up,
Sarah has a right right now because she didn't get
the notice, she has a to renew for a year.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Yeah, she can demand the lease.

Speaker 9 (59:03):
But now, Brad, if the landlord says, well, I'm just
simply not going to give you one, then what's her
next step?

Speaker 15 (59:10):
Well, i'd write, haven't attorney write a letter? Or she
can write a letter dating what her position, and then
if it goes to court, then I think that she's
got a.

Speaker 7 (59:17):
Great case, Sarah.

Speaker 6 (59:21):
You know what, I didn't realize this, Sarah, but you
do have a right to renew. According to Brad, you
might want to give him a call off the air
or call someone. I wouldn't recommend you navigate this alone,
but you have a right because you didn't get that
ninety day notice, you have a right now to renew
for a year. And I think that what Mark said
and what Brad said, she's trying to trick you right

(59:44):
now and to signing something.

Speaker 9 (59:45):
Hey Brad, just reality here, reality check real quick. If
she sends you over the lease just a eyeball and
then wants you to write a letter to this lady,
I mean, what is she looking at there? A few
hundred bucks? What I mean, how does that look? Not
going to court? I'm just saying, for what we're talking about,
this first step, that's.

Speaker 15 (01:00:06):
Right, just like an hour of my time at most,
that's nothing you need.

Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
To call them, simple as that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):

(01:01:02):
Martino here three three seven to one to three talk
seven one three eight two five five. Rod Grier and
Bob Perry's with us from chaff Our Cars. I have
another question about leasing, Bob. Someone wants to know and
you and I talked about this. Can you lease a
used car? And is it worth it? Because don't they
depreciate in the first two years? Like can you talk

(01:01:22):
about leasing a used car?

Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
Sure? Absolutely so? There is used car leasing.

Speaker 11 (01:01:28):
The parameters it has to be six model years are newer,
six model years old or newer, And so it just
depends on the car. The used car leases that are
the cars at least the best are cars that depreciate
a lot as soon as you drive them off with
a lot, so the biggest depreciation's already gone and they
won't depreciate that much more over the next three or
four years. But the same logic on a used car

(01:01:51):
as a new car. You've got the options at the end,
and it makes sense on a lot of cars. If
a car doesn't depreciate a lot when you drive it
off the lot, a new one is probably a better deal.

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Now other than Tesla, who does their own leases, you're
telling me. You told me, Bob, when I was looking
at leasing an electric vehicle that it's not a good
vehicle to lease with conventional leasing companies.

Speaker 11 (01:02:21):
Most of them won't do it because they don't know
what the future value is going to be. And that's
the you know, the good part about leasing is someone's
predicting the future value. So the manufacturers are doing it.
And there's some killer leases on electric cars right now,
new electric cars, but.

Speaker 7 (01:02:37):
That's only from the manufacturers.

Speaker 11 (01:02:39):
Right, which we can do that through them, but yeah,
there's some crazy, crazy leases.

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
What do you guys think in general of dealerships? And
here's what I mean. I love Tesla's model. There's no middleman.
Tesla sells you the car. There's not some guy that
owns a Ford dealer or Chevy dealer. And I realize
you deal with all the so you'll be a little
biased on it, But honestly, I love that model. I
think you cut out the middleman when it comes to sales.

Speaker 5 (01:03:08):
You got to deal with the service somehow.

Speaker 9 (01:03:10):
I get that warranty stuff stuff like that, but Tesla
has it figured out. I mean, don't you think that's
a better model going forward? Or even And this sounds crazy, Hondai,
you can go on Amazon now and buy a Santa
Fe for the same price you're going to buy it
at any deal or through you guys. Hey, it's not
really cutting out the middleman because Amazon's making a little

(01:03:32):
bit of the spread there.

Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
But what do you guys think?

Speaker 7 (01:03:36):
I think direct to consumer is a great idea.

Speaker 23 (01:03:39):
The I like competition and it's kind of nice to
be able to instead of like Tesla. You can go
to them only, and they control the price from the
beginning to the end, even in the financing.

Speaker 9 (01:03:51):
You know what, He's right because there is no negotiation.
I thought, not only that they do set the price,
and you're right where a dealer ship, if it's been
sitting on their line for three or four months, Hell,
they'll take a haircut on it to get rid of that.
So and that that will never happen with a directed.

Speaker 7 (01:04:09):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, said Peter, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (01:04:13):
I have no business in disargument.

Speaker 21 (01:04:15):
But your car is one of the only two things
I know that you go and dicker over the price.
When the last time you guys went and bought a
refrigerator and argued with the guy how much you're gonna
pay for the refriger.

Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
It comes from the old days of horse trading.

Speaker 8 (01:04:30):
Absolutely, And my my thought is do you like that though?

Speaker 7 (01:04:33):
Do you like dickering?

Speaker 8 (01:04:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:04:36):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me argue, hold on, let
me take your motorcycles that way though, Peter, can you
can you negotiate motorcycles?

Speaker 8 (01:04:43):
Absolutely?

Speaker 9 (01:04:44):
Yeah, but you can, guys, But but wait, go back
to the refrigerator. Like you said, I agree, you walk
into best Buy, You're not going to dicker around with
the price. But you can also go to Costco. You
can go to multiple places and get a better price.
Have con that refrigerat.

Speaker 8 (01:05:00):
It's the point. Okay, here's where I listen.

Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
I gotta take a break.

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
Now you can say, what's the name of the company.

Speaker 20 (01:06:39):
Conley's Towing. Okay, So it got towed to their lot,
I have I've never been through anything like this, so
really I had no idea what the steps were. But
about a week later I received something from them in
the mail. I called them. They said they wanted two

(01:07:03):
hundred and fifty dollars for a tophy, one hundred dollars
for administration fees. And then that phone call, the woman
told me it was like eighty dollars a day.

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
That all sounds correct so far.

Speaker 20 (01:07:15):
So I had gotten that job like two days before that,
but I needed my carport, so I hadn't been able
to work, and I don't have money like that laying around.

Speaker 7 (01:07:26):
So Jen has your car hold on?

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Jen?

Speaker 6 (01:07:29):
Let's let's let's Jen, if if Connolly's towed you from
an accident, if Connolly's told you from an accident, they
have a right to do that, especially if they are
contracted with the city to do it. Most likely they
are when you're once you're told there are strict guidelines,

(01:07:50):
is what they can charge you.

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
And all of that. But if they go by those.

Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
Guidelines, your insurance should have to pay for this. You
shouldn't have to pay for if you're in an accident
and it's not at fault, your insurance should help you
or the other person's insurance. Are you making a claim
against the other person's insurance.

Speaker 20 (01:08:11):
They didn't have any insurance, and neither did the owner.
They were borrowing a car and the owner of the carden.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
Okay, well do you have Do you have uninsured motors coverage?

Speaker 17 (01:08:21):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:08:21):
Nobody told me about that. I had liability. My car
was two thousand and four, so I wasn't able to
get any of the good stuff. But I had no idea.

Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
About jen uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motors coverage would have
cost you about.

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
One hundred dollars a year.

Speaker 6 (01:08:38):
It's the cheapest coverage you can buy, and there's all
kinds of stuff you should have had. So are you
calling because you can't afford to get your car?

Speaker 8 (01:11:21):
That there was a time that talk.

Speaker 7 (01:11:24):
Radio was a shisnt's you know what?

Speaker 6 (01:11:27):
You know what shocked me more than anything in the
digital age, I'll tell you what shocked me. There are
thousands and thousands and thousands of podcasts, absolutely, and some
of them get here's what I didn't understand, or I
don't understand some of them pop a number?

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
How do you pop a number when you're out?

Speaker 6 (01:11:47):
Would you say they're ten thousand podcasts or more?

Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
I don't know?

Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
Millions?

Speaker 7 (01:11:53):
Man, he thinks, how do people get an audience with
all that?

Speaker 8 (01:11:57):
Well, they don't, but some of them damn do.

Speaker 21 (01:12:01):
But we've we know plenty of people that didn't have
an audience in talk radio. Right, that's true, so you
know we looked at it that way. But no guys
like Joe Rogan and some of these guys there, Oh
my god, Rogan Rogan made Trump.

Speaker 8 (01:12:14):
He think about it. I mean, what Joe Rogan did
is help.

Speaker 6 (01:12:17):
You know what about There's something about Joe Rogan that
I like. He doesn't make it all about himself, and
he's not.

Speaker 21 (01:12:23):
You remember him when he used to come in and
do the show with me. He lived in Boulder, No,
you and I were, we're working together.

Speaker 7 (01:12:30):
You actually had him on your show.

Speaker 8 (01:12:32):
He was their stand up comic and he liked the
fight and uh, I like.

Speaker 7 (01:12:37):
Was he an actual fighter too?

Speaker 21 (01:12:39):
I don't know if he ever fought other than he
did announcing right, Well, he.

Speaker 8 (01:12:44):
Was a fighter.

Speaker 16 (01:12:45):
He was an MMA fighter, that's why he's doing ann
and he he was.

Speaker 21 (01:12:49):
I think he was a point fighter. I'm not so
sure that he was a grappler.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
I doubt he was like MMA or anything.

Speaker 8 (01:12:57):
So I just know he was a bad ad. No,
that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (01:12:59):
I think he was a point fighter, which at the
time might as well have been full contact.

Speaker 8 (01:13:03):
But no, he's a tough guy. He's a way tough guy.

Speaker 9 (01:13:06):
I love that show he did where they would eat
like spiders and jump off bridges and.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
I don't love did he do that one?

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
He did?

Speaker 5 (01:13:15):
That one was fear Factor, that's right. But a good guy.

Speaker 8 (01:13:18):
I mean, my my experience with him was that I
liked Joe Rogan.

Speaker 21 (01:13:24):
Oh and he's and he came across the same way
I think on his podcast, and he did great stuff
and he would didn't any back away. But he was unconstricted,
Tommy by the federal government.

Speaker 8 (01:13:37):
And that's what you and I have lived with.

Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
Yeah, we had to be.

Speaker 6 (01:13:39):
We had to live by the the FCC rules and
rigs and now nobody does.

Speaker 5 (01:13:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
So anyway, Peter, it was a joy having you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
What d you'll have a Harley? Or what are you doing, Pete?

Speaker 21 (01:13:52):
No, I tell you I went. I went through some
health issues. I I bought a trike.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
Oh.

Speaker 21 (01:13:59):
I never thought i'd write no, but I never thought
it's beautiful.

Speaker 7 (01:14:02):
Yeah, I have a picture of myself.

Speaker 21 (01:14:07):
No, no, no, no, no, it's a that'll be next

Glide three.

Speaker 5 (01:14:16):
Argie, I'm looking at it ricked out.

Speaker 7 (01:14:19):
No, it's really good. I showed you a p I

Speaker 26 (01:14:23):

Speaker 18 (01:14:32):
Of course.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
Yeah, these are pretty bad ass. Actually, no, they're they're
really bad ass. I love them.

Speaker 8 (01:14:40):
I'm going down to pick it up right now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Uh.

Speaker 21 (01:14:43):
I had work done on it, some additional Yeah, some
additional work.

Speaker 8 (01:14:46):
It's never really done.

Speaker 21 (01:14:47):
I have found some great young young men working in
this business.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
It's just you know.

Speaker 6 (01:14:52):
I built an airplane one time I was going to
bring to an air show and I wanted to I
wanted to have it painted in a really fancy way.

Speaker 7 (01:14:59):
So here's the I did this was this was not
that long?

Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
Well?

Speaker 27 (01:15:03):
Was?

Speaker 7 (01:15:04):
It was legal? I bought him.

Speaker 6 (01:15:05):
I bought a marijuana and a pack, six pack and
let him loosen my hangar, and I said, paint this
plane any way you want.

Speaker 7 (01:15:12):
I swear to God, I.

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
Remember when you did that.

Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
They were crazy crazy I did.

Speaker 6 (01:15:18):
The plane was primed white, and I said do anything
you want. And they said, are you kidding, dude? And
I said no, And I left him with some marijuana
and a six pack. The longest ride I'm going to
show you. I'm going to show everybody online a picture
of that coming up, of what they did while they
were high.

Speaker 21 (01:15:36):
Anyway, anyway, every year up to South Dakota and back,
Oh nice, and then a week riding in South Dakota,
probably round trip, I don't know, two two thousand miles
give or take.

Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
Yeah, that's a good haul, man, that's a good haul.

Speaker 21 (01:15:53):
But you know what, motorcycles, I'm to think people that
understand them or love them, and it's a different boogie
than what people think motorcires.

Speaker 8 (01:16:01):
It's really is a way of life that it is.
It is with the bikes.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
Anyway, Peter, as I said, you're welcome to stay as
long as you can, but you have to leave.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
I gotta go get my bike. All right, we'll look
at the round it starts.

Speaker 6 (01:16:14):
And I'm going to take some phone calls three all
three seven one three talk seven one three eight two
five five anytime, Peter, anytime, Bro, We'll see it.

Speaker 8 (01:16:22):
Marco'll give you a call. Brother man Thak you're Brokay.

Speaker 6 (01:16:24):
Now the towing issue, Jen, here's what I need to know.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
You said you were in a not.

Speaker 6 (01:16:31):
A fault accident, your car was towed by Connolly, and
then you said there was way more to the story.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
Yeah, did you just flush it?

Speaker 7 (01:16:40):
Will see more to the story?

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:16:43):
Something?

Speaker 28 (01:16:43):
So okay? So I am.

Speaker 20 (01:16:51):
Sorry. I have to figure out where we are in Sorry, okay.
So I talked to them numerous times since the beginning
of the accident. On they said they wanted three hundred
and fifty dollars and the title and it wouldn't get
sent to collections, or I could pay the storage and
I could take it. I talked to them at the
middle of February, the beginning of March, and like the

(01:17:15):
third week in March, I'm April.

Speaker 7 (01:17:17):
But where does it stand right now?

Speaker 6 (01:17:18):
Jan?

Speaker 7 (01:17:19):
Why are you calling today?

Speaker 6 (01:17:21):
Tell me why you're calling today.

Speaker 20 (01:17:24):
It's at a poll and pay. It's like half a
car now and it's at the poll and pay.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
Oh my god, they junked it.

Speaker 7 (01:17:30):
Yeah, but but didn't they say?

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
Didn't they say if you gave him, well, they had
a right to though. If you didn't pay the bill,
they had a right to take ownership of it.

Speaker 9 (01:17:40):
Yeah, but the other person's insurance. Here's where I'm a
little lost. How come it just simply didn't get paid?
Did no one have insurance including you and the.

Speaker 20 (01:17:48):
No one had liability?

Speaker 8 (01:17:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:17:51):
I only had like the other party did not have insurance.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
You're screwed.

Speaker 20 (01:17:55):
But that's why I kept in contact with them. Doesn't
matter because I told them I was trying to get the.

Speaker 6 (01:17:59):
But I don't see. This is what I don't understand.
You talk a lot, but this is what I don't understand.
Keeping in contact with them means nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Zero.

Speaker 7 (01:18:09):
They want payment.

Speaker 6 (01:18:10):
But but you could have signed it over to them
and had them do it voluntarly.

Speaker 5 (01:18:15):
But they had to do it in for me to
sign it.

Speaker 9 (01:18:17):
Then, even worse than that, just for me to sign
it listen to them.

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
Oh that's weird. Was this I wentn't by the cops.
So was it towed by the cops?

Speaker 25 (01:18:29):
It was by Conley.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
Well, I understand the towing company. Here's the deal.

Speaker 9 (01:18:33):
You could have got it for seventy five bucks if
it wasn't towed by the by the cops.

Speaker 5 (01:18:38):
I don't know if it was.

Speaker 6 (01:18:39):
I think I think it was towed by the cops
because it was an accident and the cops probably ordered it.

Speaker 7 (01:18:46):
Maybe not, though, I mean, she can research that. Jen.

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
Here's what I want to tell you, so we don't
waste your time research.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
Didn't have it?

Speaker 5 (01:18:54):
Have it tod Then that's seventy Okay, then you're out
of luck. Yeah, it didn't matter.

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
Then you're out of luck. What you're out of luck?

Speaker 12 (01:19:00):
What's seventy dollars?

Speaker 9 (01:19:02):
Well, if you if someone let's say you park in
an apartment complex where you're not supposed to park, or
at a restaurant or somewhere that's monitored, and your car
gets towed and three or four days later you owe
five hundred dollars, they have to release it for seventy
five dollars. Yet they have to it's the law in Colorado.

(01:19:22):
But in your case it doesn't matter because that does
not affect a towing company when the police are involved.

Speaker 6 (01:19:31):
But Mark, you should also mention that you get your
car for seventy five dollars, but you have to make
payments on the balance.

Speaker 5 (01:19:38):
Oh yeah, absolutely you do. You got to pay the
full bill.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Your vehicle. Jen.

Speaker 7 (01:19:47):
It doesn't matter, it's.

Speaker 8 (01:19:51):
Jen.

Speaker 7 (01:19:52):
It this Mark mentioned this whole thing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:56):
Mark mentioned this whole thing about seventy five dollars, and
it has nothing to do with your case. So he
was just giving an example of an independent toe the
fact that the police had it done.

Speaker 7 (01:20:08):
There's nothing we can do about it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
I'm sorry, Jen, I'm really sorry, but there's nothing we
can do about it.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Are you still pound on it?

Speaker 13 (01:20:16):
Kelly?

Speaker 6 (01:20:18):
No, Okay, that's good at least. Well she's got to
have your car now. Yeah, but but why are we
keeping this going? We can't help her. I mean, I
want to be honest with her. Again, we can't help her, Kelly.
You have a question about real estate?

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
What is it?

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
Kelly?

Speaker 10 (01:20:37):
Hi?

Speaker 25 (01:20:37):
Tom? Yes, I have two questions.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
One is.

Speaker 25 (01:20:43):
I think that you can only raise the rent once
a year and only at ten right? Can you tell
me also that is true?

Speaker 5 (01:20:52):
I don't think to ten? Correct?

Speaker 6 (01:20:55):
No, I think, hold on, there is there. Well, we
have to find out rather than speculate. But I think
you're right about the once a year.

Speaker 7 (01:21:04):
Now, I think once the year's correct.

Speaker 9 (01:21:06):
But I don't think there's any you could I don't
think there's any cap on what you can raise it.

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
I mean, think about that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:13):
If I remodel it and put one hundred and fifty
million dollars into it, I'm still not going to rent
it out for one thousand dollars a month, right, But.

Speaker 25 (01:21:22):
So, okay, so you can only raise it once a year,
and if you could find out if the cap is
ten percent of there.

Speaker 6 (01:21:31):
Is, I just found out. I just went on the way. Listen,
I just went on the law. There is no the
least agreement itself can limit rent increases.

Speaker 7 (01:21:42):
The city or county might.

Speaker 6 (01:21:43):
Have specific rules, but as of yet, there is no
cap on rent in Colorado. Yeah, it'd be insane to
do that, even the wackos that are writing the law. Here,
here's where you heard, here's where you heard the ten percent. Okay,
landlords must give a longer notice if they're going to

(01:22:05):
raise it more than ten percent, Okay, so they So
I'm going to find out it says, ninety days notice.

Speaker 9 (01:22:15):
I ameme, you'r a landlord? Yes, yeah, okay, what do
you How much are you going to raise it? Just
said Caius. Here's the rule. You want to hear the rule.
Let's hear the rule. Let's go to the law.

Speaker 6 (01:22:26):
Landlord must give sixty days notice for any rent increase,
but if it's more than ten percent, they have to
give ninety days notice.

Speaker 8 (01:22:34):
There we go.

Speaker 25 (01:22:35):
Okay, and I'm way below the market, so uh, you
know I and everything is raising in costs, So on
ninety days if you're going to raise it more than
ten percent and sixty days, it's.

Speaker 9 (01:22:49):
Right, you know what, Tom, Tom, you're raking that up.
Just made me think of another loophole for landlords. Let's
say you do want someone out, but you're not going
to sell the property, and you're not gonna do other
things that can exempt you from not renewing the lease.
You give ninety days notice that that fifteen hundred dollars
a month's now one hundred thousand a month, and they're gone, Jack, Yeah,

(01:23:13):
I mean I take to day.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
You can raise it to whatever you want. I think
you can raise it to whatever you want.

Speaker 25 (01:23:19):
And what if you don't have a lease with the person.
They're in there without a lease.

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
If you do have a lease with them, it's thirty
it's it's a thirty day. It's moth Actually, I read
this wrong. There is a new law. There is a
new law. If the rent increase is ten percent or less.
Oh no, no, no, never mind. It's what I said,
sixty days. Notice. If it's ten percent or more, it's
ninety days. It used to be sixty days for everything.

(01:23:44):
Now it's ninety days. If you're gonna do it more
than that. Thank you for calling Kelly. Three oh three

(01:24:32):
you're troubleshooter three O three seven one three talk seven
on three eight two five five. Our guests today for
Car Friday, Rodgreer and Bob Perry.

Speaker 7 (01:24:42):
They're both from Jfrcars.

Speaker 6 (01:24:44):
Now, I want to I want to talk about leasing
because I'm fascinating with Lison.

Speaker 7 (01:24:48):
I'm fascinated.

Speaker 6 (01:24:49):
In fact, I've made up my mind I will never
buy another car and tie up a chunk of capital
again because the lease makes far better sense. If I
believe you're not doing excessive mileage. Now, Bob says, who's
the leasing expert? Bob Perry says, even if you're doing
high mileage, if you'll account for it leasing a still

(01:25:11):
all right.

Speaker 7 (01:25:12):
But I don't know. Like I said, if you're going
to do a bunch of mileage, maybe just keep the car.

Speaker 6 (01:25:17):
But somebody did text the question, Bob Perry, have you
had people who lease a car for three years and
then come in and put it on a three year
loan and buy it so they're into that car for.

Speaker 7 (01:25:31):
Six years with a very manageable payment.

Speaker 8 (01:25:35):
Sure, I've done that a lot.

Speaker 11 (01:25:37):
And we've also taken people that had a three year
lease and put them in another three year lease on
the same car.

Speaker 6 (01:25:44):
Wait a minute, Wait just a minute, buddy, You mean
to tell me you can lease the car then turn
around and take the residual value and release it again.

Speaker 11 (01:25:56):
You can, Yes, absolutely, Sometimes the payment's extremely small then
because there's not a lot of depreciation left in that car,
so makes sense. And you know the car, you know
it's your cars.

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
So and then at the end of the six years,
do they buy it or let it go or they
they have their choice, right, sure, whatever makes sense at
that time. Someone wants to know when they were shopping
for a leased a lease back in the day, there
was a closed end lease and an open end lease.
Do they still have those in what are they?

Speaker 8 (01:26:29):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (01:26:29):
So, the difference is an open end lease is really
designed for companies business commercial use. On an open end lease,
the less he is responsible for the residual value. So
let's just say you have a construction company and you
want to.

Speaker 8 (01:26:42):
Lease a truck.

Speaker 11 (01:26:44):
Average wear and tear is different in the mind of
a lender versus the guy who's using the truck. So
on an open end lease, he's still responsible for the
residual value. Closed end leases are designed for individuals. So
that they aren't responsible for the residual value. The lender
will and that value based on miles and average wear
and tear.

Speaker 6 (01:27:03):
So they why would anyone want Why would anyone want.

Speaker 7 (01:27:07):
To close then lease?

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Why?

Speaker 11 (01:27:09):
Because you can walk away from it. You're not responsible
for the residual value. That's you know, we've talked. That's
the advantage of leasing is you have the upside potential
without the downside risk.

Speaker 7 (01:27:19):
Oh clo closed en means closed n leases you walk
away from every time.

Speaker 11 (01:27:25):
Correct, So on an open end lease, same situation, a
guy returns his vehicle. What happens in is you either
take it to auction or you get three bids. If
it's worth more than the residual value, he gets the
money back. If it's worthless, he gets a bill because
of the use of the vehicle.

Speaker 6 (01:27:43):
I got a question, have you ever had it go ahead?
If you is there a five year lease?

Speaker 9 (01:27:49):
There is, yes, So if you had a five year lease,
and let's say it's ten thousand miles to use easy numbers,
so at the end of the five years, you're supposed
to turn it in fifty thousand dollars is basically what
fifty miles or fifty thousand miles right now, I'm being
dead serious. If you end up turning it in with
two hundred thousand miles, could it literally end up costing

(01:28:11):
you more than if you just bought the vehicle.

Speaker 11 (01:28:14):
So in that case, there's a break even point of
what's the car worth if you buy it out versus
what's the penalty for miles. So if you have that
many miles on, it makes more sense to buy the
car and take less for the car because a penalty
won't be as big as the mileage penalty.

Speaker 6 (01:28:31):
Okay, so that does okay, Yeah, so Bob, I'd never
thought of that before. So at the end of a lease,
if you have excessive mileage, maybe not as excessive a
march set, but just excessive mileage, rather than taking a
hit on the residual, you can simply buy it.

Speaker 11 (01:28:49):
For yourself absolutely, because your buyout is a fixed purchase
option the day you signed the lease, so you know
what that car is going to cost you. So's there's
a time where you're just going to have too many
I'm going to have to buy it and just work.

Speaker 7 (01:29:01):
My way out of it.

Speaker 8 (01:29:02):
And that's that's always a possibility.

Speaker 6 (01:29:06):
See there again, another reason to have a lease. Even
if you go over mileage, you have the price of
the car. And here's what I've always said, when you
lease the car and buy it out at the end
of the lease, it's like buying a used car, except
you know the owner and you know exactly how that
car was kept. Yep, Okay, I want to talk to Tim,

(01:29:28):
real quick caller Tim. And by the way, the ABNY calls,
especially about leasing cars.

Speaker 7 (01:29:33):
I think it's phenomenal.

Speaker 6 (01:29:34):
Three oh three seven one three talks seven one three
eight two five five Tim, go.

Speaker 24 (01:29:37):
Ahead, Hey, hey, hey, John, can hear me?

Speaker 7 (01:29:42):
Yes, sir, I can, yes, Okay, I can hear you.

Speaker 24 (01:29:45):
My father in law passed away about three years ago,
and my wife did the taxes for him, and he
got a refund, and the federal refund came, and everything
was buying and they you know, she's been in the
death certificate and and the check was me out to
his estate and I just we were looking on the
Colorado'll find my money and realized we had this check

(01:30:07):
out there that was supposed to be made out to
my wife and we can't figure out who to call
to get them to reissue the check so we can
you know, so we can get the money.

Speaker 6 (01:30:18):
Wait a minute, they don't reissue the check. The check
was issued, the money went to the Escheat Funds. That's
where the money sits.

Speaker 24 (01:30:25):
Yeah, exactly, but it's still under my father in law's
name and it should be under.

Speaker 6 (01:30:29):
I understand, but you don't. They won't reissue. They won't
reissue it.

Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
You go to the.

Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
State Eschiet Funds with the treasury and that's where you
claim it with the death certificate.

Speaker 24 (01:30:43):
Okay, And is there a number for that or do when?
I just do that online because we've my wife got
a couple of phone numbers and nobody, nobody can really
figure out how to help us. And you're kind of
our last quot.

Speaker 7 (01:30:54):
It's all part Listen. It's called it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:56):
Here's what. It's called the Great Colorado Payback. And I
believe I don't know if the site, Yeah, the site
I believe says Great Colorado. It's Great Colorado Payback. Okay,
I just I don't know what the the actual u
r L A, what's hold on?

Speaker 7 (01:31:13):
What's what's the u r L.

Speaker 16 (01:31:14):
So it's called Colorado dot find your Unclaimed Property dot com.

Speaker 6 (01:31:21):
No, that's not that's not a government site that is
not a government site, that is a private site.

Speaker 18 (01:31:27):
That's what we can say.

Speaker 8 (01:31:29):
Pictures here.

Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
Yeah, I don't think it might be, but it would
be the only government side I know that's not dot gov.

Speaker 8 (01:31:35):
It's the only one.

Speaker 6 (01:31:36):
So if it is, they're really really playing uh the plant,
it's really weird. It's it's here's it. It's here's what
it is. He said the same thing, And I found
the same thing, and it sure as hell looks like
a site, like a government site.

Speaker 8 (01:31:51):
It's got their address.

Speaker 7 (01:31:52):
No, I know, I know, I see. Well, so it
looks official to me.

Speaker 24 (01:31:59):
Okay, I I went to that site and I had
some money coming back to and I did get my
money back and it took you know, it took like
a week. So yeah, that's I mean, it's legit.

Speaker 5 (01:32:08):
And so you guys are where too.

Speaker 19 (01:32:09):
The Colorado dot gov does link to that website, the
Colorado Yeah, that's right, your claimed property dot com. So yes,
it's right, is official.

Speaker 7 (01:32:20):
It is linked.

Speaker 6 (01:32:21):
You're right, So it is linked to the Colorado payback
and it is official. I just never saw a dot
com site from the government, but the dot gov site
links to it.

Speaker 8 (01:32:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:32:33):
So anyway, you said you had already claimed money from there,
Tim for yourself, that your wife would do the same
thing for her father, she would do the same thing
for her father, and then you just have to show
proof of representation.

Speaker 24 (01:32:48):
Okay, I will Hey, I tried to.

Speaker 9 (01:32:50):
Hey, just as a comment on this, I have a
company from years ago. It's called Colorado I don't want
to say because people go look it up and it
has like over a thousand bucks sitting in that a
sheet or whatever it's called fund and I have sent
them every bit of information to prove I own that company,

(01:33:11):
and I simply can't get that money.

Speaker 5 (01:33:13):
It really sucks.

Speaker 9 (01:33:15):
I think if it's under your name, it's probably easy
to get, but man, if it's under a company you owned,
like literally a corporation, you just can't get it.

Speaker 23 (01:33:24):
Tom.

Speaker 9 (01:33:24):
I mean, I have sent them every possible thing they
have asked for, and I still don't have that money.

Speaker 6 (01:33:32):
Wow, that's odd, because how does anyone with a corporation
then get the money.

Speaker 5 (01:33:39):
I have no idea they want.

Speaker 9 (01:33:40):
Of course, I can understand they want to prove you
own the company or did own the company, But I've
sent them all the proof I possibly can. I mean,
everything tax returns. I mean, you name it. I've sent
it to them, but I just can't get it back.

Speaker 5 (01:33:55):
It's crazy, man.

Speaker 7 (01:34:00):
Wow, Okay, we need to take a break. Listen, Kim.

Speaker 9 (01:35:12):
I just I don't know what the one is because
it just says over two hundred and fifty, but I
mean I round it up at least five six hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:35:20):
I'm doing it right now.

Speaker 7 (01:35:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:35:24):

There's any tart.

Speaker 9 (01:35:34):
They owe me zero, which is really it says Bank
of the West owes.

Speaker 5 (01:35:38):

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
I just don't know why.

Speaker 29 (01:35:46):
Okay, hold on like yeah, yeah, no, no, Mark, I
have a theory that I can't wait a safe deposit
box that and they're holding the contents for you.

Speaker 9 (01:35:59):
Oh my god, we did have a We did have
a safety deposit box at Bank.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
Of the West.

Speaker 8 (01:36:07):
Tom, can we add this to.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
You?

Speaker 9 (01:36:11):
Just said that it says what's in the box. I
don't know what's in that box. There could be some
skeletons in that there box.

Speaker 16 (01:36:23):
Let's do a live opening like Heraldo Rivera when he
opened that Gangsters ball.

Speaker 5 (01:36:28):
You know what I'll do.

Speaker 9 (01:36:29):
I'll put a PEPSI can in there just to make
it look good it. Can you imagine if I opened
it up live on YouTube and there was like a
sack of cocaine?

Speaker 16 (01:36:40):
Yes, well, would there be a second deposit box.

Speaker 5 (01:36:46):
Only if the bankers put it in there.

Speaker 6 (01:36:50):
Anyway, they said that I filled out everything while we
were on the air, and they said, now you have
to complete it when they send you something. So they
have to send me something now that I have to complete,
even going all through that online, how much was yours time?

Speaker 7 (01:37:06):
And thirty five dollars?

Speaker 26 (01:37:09):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:37:10):
Anyway, the Colorado? I got a text, you get payback.
Here's here's the Colorado. This is a hey, in all honesty.

Speaker 7 (01:37:22):
Has no one in the office.

Speaker 6 (01:37:24):
When I registered to speak to someone, they told me
that everybody works from home.

Speaker 9 (01:37:29):
Just send in the documentation. Go ahead, mark, So thirty
five dollars. How far would that get you in your bird?

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
In your bird?

Speaker 5 (01:37:38):
Well across the streets? Serious? Ten miles?

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
What?

Speaker 7 (01:37:42):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:37:43):
Fuel costs six dollars and about six thirty five times
times for an hour, it burns twenty twenty three times
twenty three, so it burns one hundred and forty six
dollars and five cents an hour. So geez, So thirty

(01:38:05):
five dollars, Oh yeah, just do the math.

Speaker 7 (01:38:07):
Thirty five dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:38:08):
So that's one hundred and forty six divided by thirty five, right, yeah,
that's what I do would give me.

Speaker 5 (01:38:16):
No, I don't know if that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:38:17):
I don't know. I got to figure it out a
different way. I'm not gonna do math live on the air.

Speaker 6 (01:38:21):
I'll figure I'll figure out how far thirty five dollars
will give me. Wait, I know what a do thirty
five will get me, and I know what to do.

Speaker 7 (01:38:27):
Folks.

Speaker 6 (01:38:28):
Wait, I'm not that stupid six thirty six thirty five, right.

Speaker 7 (01:38:32):
So what I do is this.

Speaker 6 (01:38:34):
I take the the thirty five dollars and divide it
by the gallon, so six thirty five, and then I
come up with five gallons. So five gallons would get
me about twenty fifty twenty. Yeah, approximately fifteen minutes.

Speaker 16 (01:38:52):
Is that enough time to take to take Mark over
to pick up his safe deposit box from the government.

Speaker 6 (01:38:58):
Maybe maybe three three seven one, three eight two five five.

Oh three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. I'm Tom Martino.
Welcome Brian. Brian, you have a parking issue. What's going on, Brian?

Speaker 27 (01:40:16):
Actually, Tom, it's not a parking issue. It's actually my
truck stalls while I'm coming to a stop.

Speaker 6 (01:40:28):
Oh a pompa. I didn't mean parking, it says breaking.
I'm so sorry, So tell me what happens. Tell me
what happens when you roll up to like a traffic
light and stops.

Speaker 27 (01:40:38):
What happens well, and not every single time, it's just
every once in a while, it all of a sudden,
I can you know, you can feel the truck losing
power and then it basically shuts down, and so I
have to throw it into park and then start it
right back up again, and I put it in a
drive and I continue on. Then I won't do it

(01:40:59):
for a while, but then there'll be I don't know,
maybe and this just started happening like last couple of days,
so it doesn't happen every single time.

Speaker 6 (01:41:09):
You know what we're gonna get ket Is Kevin available
by phone?

Speaker 7 (01:41:12):
I know he's not in today, but is.

Speaker 9 (01:41:14):
He available by think his uh service or not service manager?
But his store manager basically called in last minute, so
he's there at the shop.

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
Yes, yes, all.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Right, so let's call Kevin and we'll ask him to
give it to weigh in on this breaking issue. But
I think do you have an idea? Dmeetri hey, Brian.

Speaker 16 (01:41:33):
In the past couple of days, just before this problem
became a parent, did you happen to either change the
battery or disconnect the battery or run out of battery power?

Speaker 13 (01:41:45):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:41:47):
Ah? Why why did you ask that?

Speaker 16 (01:41:50):
So what happens is if Brian's throttle body hasn't been
cleaned in.

Speaker 8 (01:41:55):
A long time.

Speaker 16 (01:41:56):
Then he's going to experience this exact symptom every time
the truck goes into wild idol. Because the throttle body
cleaning insures proper airflow into the engine, and because his
throttle body is filthy right now like mine once once was,
then the air fuel mixture is wrong.

Speaker 7 (01:42:16):
Then what what did it have to do with losing power?

Speaker 8 (01:42:19):
You asked?

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (01:42:19):
So, over the years, as the throttle body becomes dirtier
and dirtier and dirtier, the car's computer adjusts for that.
It remembers that you had a filthy throttle body last
time it started, so it adjusts the air fuel mixture
to compensate for the filth. But once you disconnect the battery,
that memory is wiped out and the truck forgot that

(01:42:41):
it learned how to adjust for the.

Speaker 7 (01:42:43):
Dormind God, how cool is this?

Speaker 16 (01:42:46):
So I think you're going to need a throttle body
service bridan deputy.

Speaker 7 (01:42:50):
Deputy d sounds like a mechanic, so no doubt. What
do you say?

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
Yeah, So, basically what he's saying is that the throttle
bodies are dirty, and it used to adjust for it,
but now it's not adjusting for it anymore because you
lost power.

Speaker 8 (01:43:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:43:05):
Once that diagnoses that and cleans your it's called an
induction service. Is the service you would want to ask for.
Provided Kevin agrees with my amateur diagnosis of the problem,
then please call us so let us know if that
was right or not.

Speaker 8 (01:43:20):
I mean, I've got a lot writing on this.

Speaker 6 (01:43:21):
Yeah, so let's Kevin's on right now, Kevin, real quick, Kevin,
if if his truck, hey man, his F one P
fifty as he's coming to a stop sign or a
stop light, it wants to stall now. Dimitri said it
could be the throttle body. He said, at one time,
the throttle body was adjusting for that, giving you enough air.

(01:43:43):
But he lost power, uh, with his battery one time,
and that erased the memory.

Speaker 26 (01:43:49):
Oh yeah yeah. It also has a learning curve in
it as well. Dmitri nailed it.

Speaker 7 (01:43:55):
Yeah, that's what That's what Dimitri said.

Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
And then that battery when your battery dish charged, it
wiped out the memory or the.

Speaker 8 (01:44:03):
Learning yep, yep.

Speaker 26 (01:44:04):
It could be a relearner. It could be dirt or
her bulk. Yes, yeah, yeah, Dmitri nailed it. Good job,
Dmitri thank good job.

Speaker 16 (01:44:12):
I'm gonna email you my resume in a couple of minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:44:15):
I gotta give him my danger I didn't need. This
is like twice in a day, Brian, take it over
to share it a auto tech.

Speaker 7 (01:44:23):
How long does it take to clean those throttle bodies?

Speaker 26 (01:44:26):
We need a couple of two three hours typically.

Speaker 7 (01:44:30):

have Rodgreer with us from jfrcars dot com.

Speaker 7 (01:47:17):
Also Bob Perry. He's the leasing expert over there.

Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
And as I said, leasing has become more attractive these
days as cars get more expensive. If you look at
it as eating an apple, if you're only going to
eat half the apple, why pay for all of it?
You pay for the half you're going to eat, and
then you turn it back in or buy it if
you want. If that half an apple turns out to
be valuable, buy it back and then sell.

Speaker 7 (01:47:44):
It or keep it or whatever if you again.

Speaker 6 (01:47:49):
I think ideally, in my mind, a lease candidate is
someone who will keep the term, the terms and conditions.

Speaker 7 (01:48:00):
What Bob do lease?

Speaker 5 (01:48:05):
Oh we might have just lost the love.

Speaker 6 (01:48:09):
Oh say it again? Time we lost you for a second?
Lost who you? I'm sorry, I'm asking, I'm asking of
the less ores, Like there's big lessors, big lenders that
do leases. They buy the cars and least them to you.
What how do they come up with residual values? And

(01:48:29):
can we take Is there a place we can look? Oh,
you've dropped again?

Speaker 9 (01:48:36):
Yeah, he's dropping in and out. That's kind of crazy.
I'm not even sure where he's going with that.

Speaker 8 (01:48:42):
I can already answer it.

Speaker 9 (01:48:43):
Yeah, So let me ask you something though, JFI we
can you.

Speaker 7 (01:48:48):
Hear me now? Mark?

Speaker 18 (01:48:49):
Yeah? Mark?

Speaker 7 (01:48:49):
Can you hear me now?

Speaker 5 (01:48:50):
Go ahead?

Speaker 6 (01:48:53):
Okay, I'm sorry about I'm sorry about that. If I'm
dropping in and out? Is there a place you can
go and see what residual values are on different brands?

Speaker 11 (01:49:02):
Not really so residuals. They try and to determine those
based on the past. So they take like a say,
a three year old Toyota Highlander and see what it's
selling for wholesale compared to what it was when it
was new, and let's just say it's fifty percent. So
then they give a new Highlander fifty percent residual. And
when there's cars that there is no pass sometimes the

(01:49:25):
residuals can be extremely low, or they don't lease them
till they have some history.

Speaker 6 (01:49:31):
But if I is there any place but there's no
place online that would give me like Mercedes Benz And
then the percentage of residual from the MSRP.

Speaker 11 (01:49:42):
I mean not that I know of, because you know,
there's different lenders, so different lenders will have different residuals.
So Mercedes Benz Credit could have a higher residual because
it's their product, and where a bank or a credit
union may be a little bit more conservative because they're
not as familiar with Mercedes Benz values. But so you
could have, you know, the same car and go to

(01:50:03):
three different lenders, have three different payments.

Speaker 8 (01:50:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:50:05):
Plus in the scenario just gave, if Mercedes is getting
that vehicle back, they're going to certify it is used
things other dealers can't do, so the vehicle truly is
worth more to them it would be somebody else.

Speaker 23 (01:50:20):
And that would also determine whether or not Okay, we
would just ask my I was gonna say, that would
determine whether or not delay, But go ahead, Tom.

Speaker 6 (01:50:37):
I was told that that you can go on and
find out residual values on some websites, but you but
as as Perry Bob Perry said, it has to be
each lesser publishes their own correct.

Speaker 7 (01:50:57):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 6 (01:50:58):
So, like I'm looking at JD powers they issue, Now
where do they get their information? They give residual values,
and so do other companies.

Speaker 7 (01:51:09):
Where do they do that? How do they do that?

Speaker 6 (01:51:11):
I mean they're using their own history. They just they
know what they're going to pay out like g right,
that's right. So does GE give residual values?

Speaker 2 (01:51:21):
They?

Speaker 8 (01:51:22):
Well, they when they used to lease, they did. I
don't know that they do any more. Leasing on vehicles.

Speaker 6 (01:51:31):
Okay, find out the future price of your car.

Speaker 7 (01:51:36):
And this is on goodcr dot.

Speaker 6 (01:51:38):
Com, good car dot com, which is weird. I mean,
and all you do is enter a ven number and
they do a least calculator on a ven number.

Speaker 5 (01:51:50):
Isn't that weird?

Speaker 7 (01:51:53):
Car dot com? See what you think about that one.

Speaker 6 (01:51:56):
I'll take a look at it. I've never heard of them,
but yeah, me too. Maybe they maybe they aggregate the inform.
See here's why I'm saying this. Here's why I'm saying this, Bobby.
If I want to lease a car and I want
to get the lowest payment, I would then want to
find a car that has a good price versus the

(01:52:16):
percentage of MSRP lessor is willing to pay. Like I
was told, one of the highest residual values you can
find in a car would be forty five percent of MSRP.
Is that true or does it go higher than that?

Speaker 11 (01:52:32):
Well, it'll go higher than that. And you know, the
lowest payment isn't always.

Speaker 8 (01:52:36):
The best lease, so keep that in mind.

Speaker 11 (01:52:38):
There's some lenders that will give a car an exceptionally
high residual value, but they'll also have a high money
factor to give you a low payment. And then what
they do is they take that extra money that they've
charged in their lease charge and put that aside to
cover their you know, the excessive residual if they get
the car back, so they bank that extra money and

(01:52:58):
then hope that it gets totaled or you end up
buying it. But they'll have the lowest payment, but it's
not the best lease.

Speaker 9 (01:53:04):
Well not only that, the payment can be low, but
I'm just looking at a car here, So it's two
hundred and nine bucks a month for thirty six months,
but it's also almost four grand due it's signing, So
I mean, what's the difference. I mean, you're paying that
down payments a lot of it, right, is the zero
down on a lease.

Speaker 11 (01:53:23):
Now a true an actual release. All they require down
is your first month's payment. If there's any rebates or anything,
you pay sales tax at least in Colorado, or you
pay sales tax on that rebate.

Speaker 8 (01:53:35):
That's all that's required.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
So the.

Speaker 8 (01:53:38):
Signing, because that's how they got to that payment.

Speaker 7 (01:53:41):
But listen to this, guys, listen to this. Listen.

Speaker 6 (01:53:45):
I went to Edmunds dot com. They have a lease calculator.
You put in the make the model the year, and
it tells you what the MSRP is, what the average
selling price is, and then it tells you the selling
Then it tells you, based on ten than twelve thousand
or fifteen thousand miles, what your payment will be.

Speaker 7 (01:54:06):
So that's pretty amazing to me. Isn't that amazing to you?

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
Guys?

Speaker 6 (01:54:11):
I mean, it gives you the payment right away, you know,
assuming that and on this one for example, well, okay,
I'm gonna give you an example, Okay, but no, it
just says least calculator from Industry Resources. It says a
Mercedes been let's say, twenty twenty five g wagon. Okay,

(01:54:33):
it tells you that they'll pay you at the end
of the lease. How much they'll pay you. They'll pay
you fifty percent of MSRP fifty percent, and the your
payment on that would be my god, it would be
thirty eight.

Speaker 7 (01:54:49):
Hundred dollars or almost thirty nine.

Speaker 6 (01:54:52):
No, no, oh, it's more than that, plus taxes and fees.
Your payment on that would be forty four hundred dollars
a month.

Speaker 7 (01:54:59):
You would have to be insane to do that, so
forty four a month.

Speaker 11 (01:55:03):
If you have all the information, so you know what
the cost or the cap cost of the car is,
you know the residual value, you know money factor. I mean,
I've got a nap on my phone. If I just
put the right information in, it'll give me a lease payment.
But that doesn't mean you know that that everybody will
honor those numbers. That's through a certain lender that will
do no.

Speaker 7 (01:55:23):
I get it, I get it.

Speaker 6 (01:55:26):
Lease lessors they have the right to do whatever terms
and conditions they want. If they say, no, we're not
paying you fifty percent on that, then they could alter
it right or something, say I'm going to pay you
more than fifty percent. Sure the loads you have risk on?
My question to you, do you go to a number
of Let do you go to a number of sources

(01:55:47):
or do you just have one you go with?

Speaker 11 (01:55:49):
No, No, We've got a number, including the manufacturers. So
if there's a you know, a factory backed lease where
they have some incentives, we can use that. And we've
got you know, independent banks and credit unions and you
know that we can compare them to.

(01:56:56):
your Troubleshooter three oh three seven, one, three, eight, five five. Okay,
somebody wants to know by text how does customizing a
vehicle affect a lease such as oversized tires, lift kits,
tinted windows, and all of the other stuff. When you
lease a car and you put on aftermarket parts, what happens?

(01:57:18):
Are you allowed to do that? To begin with, Bob.

Speaker 11 (01:57:22):
You are so you can either you know, put new
parts on and keep the old parts and turn it
back in with the old parts. Or if what you
put on there devalues the car and makes it worth less,
they may charge you as they would excessive wear and tear.
In other words, if you've cut holes in it or
done something that devalues the car, then they could charge
you for it. But you can do whatever you want

(01:57:43):
to with it as long as you don't hurt the value.

Speaker 6 (01:57:48):
It all comes down to the value. What's excessive wear?
Can give me an example of excessive wear like seats
or interior.

Speaker 11 (01:57:57):
So depending on the lender, some of them'll give you
some guidelines, like they'll give you something that's the size
of a credit card and they'll say, if you can
cover up any you know, like scratches, dents, dings with
this card, they're not going to charge you. Some of
them will wave the first thousand dollars. Some of them
will charge you for everything. And so all lenders will
give you the opportunity to have an inspection before you

(01:58:19):
turn the car in. So if you get a bunch
of charges, you can fix that or take care of
it before you turn it in because you can usually
get it fixed for less than what they're going.

Speaker 8 (01:58:29):
To charge you.

Speaker 9 (01:58:29):
It almost sounds like a like running an apartment. I mean,
you know, wear and tear on the carpet's one thing,
but having a hole in the walls are different.

Speaker 11 (01:58:38):
Exactly, you know, because they're just trying to get to
the value they guessed three years ago based on you
holding up your end of the bargain. You didn't drive
extra miles and you didn't beat the car up. So
you know, big dents, scratches, ball tires, cracked windshields. They're
going to charge for all that because it devalues the car.
If you own that car, it makes that car worthless.

(01:58:59):
Even if if you own it and want to trade
in there you go, you need tires, You got to
correct windshields, so the car's work less.

Speaker 5 (01:59:04):
If someone wanted to lease the car.

Speaker 9 (01:59:06):
Let's say they want to buy a new Honda, or
they want to buy a new Toyota or a new Honda,
or a new Ford, a new Chevy, new stuff. I
know you guys jfar can go out there and get
them the best price because you go to all the
different dealerships you have relationships with and just try to
get them the best price.

Speaker 5 (01:59:22):
Simple as that.

Speaker 8 (01:59:23):
Correct.

Speaker 9 (01:59:23):
But if they want to lease it, how do you
guys come in there? In other words, if they want
to lease a new Ford, do you still go through Ford?

Speaker 5 (01:59:32):
If they have all the incentives?

Speaker 8 (01:59:33):
If they do, yes, absolutely, so you.

Speaker 9 (01:59:35):
Do all that legwork you they'll get the same deal
on the lease. It's not a better deal because maybe
a credit union has something better.

Speaker 8 (01:59:42):
Correct, go and direct correct.

Speaker 11 (01:59:44):
And so any incentives that are on new cars get
passed to the end client.

Speaker 8 (01:59:49):
So whatever they are, if it's.

Speaker 11 (01:59:50):
At it's the same, correct, but a lot less hassle
and a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:59:55):
Less hassle because you're doing it but the other and
plus you're going to warn them about hey, that's only
ten to a miles a year or whatever.

Speaker 8 (02:00:01):
Correct.

Speaker 9 (02:00:02):
I mean, they'll get all the good info, but do
you have other avenues like if four doesn't have any
big promotions going on, but of course they always do.

Speaker 5 (02:00:10):
Leasing on new vehicles. Can you sometimes get a better
lease price?

Speaker 8 (02:00:13):
Absolutely all the time?

Speaker 11 (02:00:15):
Yes, I mean I love if they happen to be
the best, but sometimes their best lease might not be
the best for you. But you go into the idea
you're going to give it back to them because it's
not a good lease, but the payment works and the
vehicle works.

Speaker 8 (02:00:27):
So sometimes that's the advice we'll give.

Speaker 6 (02:00:29):
What do you guys sell the most of now? Just
out of curiosity new vehicles?

Speaker 9 (02:00:33):
I know you guys got a bunch you used in
trade ins, But when people call you up saying I'm
looking for a new what's the number one?

Speaker 8 (02:00:40):
I still think it's probably Toyota.

Speaker 23 (02:00:42):
And the reason why I'm a little bit hesitant by
giving a hard number is because we got about sixty
guys over there, so what we're doing and what someone
else is doing that. But for the most part, I'm
gonna say, Toyota.

Speaker 9 (02:00:54):
Tom, are you gonna end up getting that? What are
you going to end up buying? I know you're kind
well your semi in the market. I I you know.

Speaker 6 (02:01:02):
There's no reason I guess to do what I'm doing.
I mean, because my car is in perfect condition with
thirty thousand miles.

Speaker 7 (02:01:09):
But I like changing out cars. I mean, I'm going
to admit it.

Speaker 6 (02:01:11):
I don't change them out just when they're Yeah, I
don't know, I just like doing it.

Speaker 7 (02:01:15):
I really like having fun with cars. You're kind of guy.

Speaker 5 (02:01:18):
Now, I like being double Now I want a lot.
Man should at least it.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
Well, it went from one hundred and twelve thousand to
fifty eight.

Speaker 8 (02:01:31):
And do that math and by the number of months
you had it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
That's yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:01:34):
Well, actually that's the This could be a good lesson
right here during the break, kind of give them an
idea of what that lease would have been, you know
the p it's a twenty twenty two, right Tom.

Speaker 6 (02:01:45):
Yeah, twenty twenty two BMWX seven M fifty I so do.

Speaker 9 (02:01:49):
And if it was going to be a lease, let's
see what he would have paid over this.

Speaker 5 (02:01:53):
Amount of time and see if you were truly let's
see if he would have saved money.

Speaker 6 (02:01:56):
Yeah, let's do that, but but hold on, so do
it as if I was leasing it new in twenty
twenty two, and how much was it?

Speaker 7 (02:02:03):
And it was the twelve.

Speaker 6 (02:02:04):
It was one twelve, but I don't know if that
was MSRP. You know, I don't know what MSRP was
at the time. I forget, but it was one twelve.
I bought it in twenty twenty two, in about March
or April.

Speaker 8 (02:02:17):
Anyway.

Speaker 6 (02:02:18):
Now come twenty twenty five, I'm being told it's worth
fifty eight, top dollar fifty eight. That's on a trade,
by the way.

Speaker 7 (02:02:29):
So okay, so let's see what a release.

Speaker 6 (02:02:32):
So so basically, if you take the one twelve I paid,
and you subtract, you know, you subtract the money that
it's worth. Right now, I spent a lot of money
on this car.

Speaker 11 (02:02:44):
So that's you know, appreciation, that's what Lisa's figure, you're
depreciating I spent.

Speaker 6 (02:02:49):
Okay, I spent fifty four grand on this car technically,
because it's fifty four grand less than I bought it
fifty four and the use of the twenty so the
money three twenty four to twenty five, and that's divided
by three years. So that car costs me eighteen grand
a year. I can't see a lease being that much.

Speaker 11 (02:03:09):
Well, I mean it shouldn't be, you know, we do
comparisons to leasing versus buying.

Speaker 7 (02:03:14):
By the way.

Speaker 6 (02:03:15):
By the way, Bob, if you want to be accurate,
it was only ten thousand miles a year that you've
pay one thousand miles a year. So yeah, so let's
do that and figure it out. I'm Tom Martinez. Oh no,
we don't have to take a break just yet. But
that's what I want to do. I want to compare
apples with apples in real life because people want real life,
they really do. And speaking of real life, Mark, we're
talking about tax credits. Buying tax credits from people who

(02:03:38):
have solar systems that can't use them. You can negotiate,
you can negotiate a deal, but on a particular deal.

Speaker 7 (02:03:43):
Let's say if you pay full retail.

Speaker 6 (02:03:45):
When I say full retail, you buy like one hundred
and fifty thousand in credits for like one hundred and
five thousand, You go back three years, recover that one
hundred and fifty the government sends you a check for
forty five grand. It's that easy. There's it's that easy
for so anybody. Here's what I say.

Speaker 9 (02:04:04):
So you're gonna have your account and go back and
modify the last two years.

Speaker 5 (02:04:08):
Basically and use those tax credits.

Speaker 6 (02:04:10):
Well, technically I could probably go back one year and
do it.

Speaker 9 (02:04:13):
So, but yeah, say regardless, I never looked at it
that way. But so there's no even I don't know.
Let's take I was gonna say Steve Jobs, but that's
not gonna work. Let's take Elon Musk and he's got
a million dollars of taxes that he owes. So basically,
you're saying you could use if you had a million
dollars in credits, you could offset it in one year

(02:04:35):
if you had that kind of burden.

Speaker 5 (02:04:37):
I mean, just like that. There's no limit of how
many per year.

Speaker 6 (02:04:42):
No, only up to what you owe. That's the only
thing you can that's the only limits.

Speaker 5 (02:04:46):
So do the rest go back over to the following years.

Speaker 7 (02:04:49):
Yes, so you can go back three years. So basically
you can do the third.

Speaker 5 (02:04:53):
You're gonna save thirty percent on your taxes.

Speaker 6 (02:04:56):
I mean that's the bottom line, literally literally third. So
I go back three years and each year I file,
I get that whatever. I don't have to go back
three but you can go back three years. You can
go forward twenty years. You can buy I'm buying. I'm
buying as many as I can possibly get as many
as I possibly know why everybody.

Speaker 5 (02:05:16):
And wouldn't do that? And then the good news for
the what I.

Speaker 6 (02:05:18):
Said, I told when I talked to Brook at Red Rocks,
I said, why isn't everyone doing this? For God's sakes?
Why isn't everyone doing it?

Speaker 5 (02:05:27):
I don't know, I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:05:29):
It's the most it's the most easy brain.

Speaker 9 (02:05:32):
I mean, I can't think of a reason why you
go through the brain surgery on the first round. And
if everything is what you're saying, there is no way
I'm not doing it every year.

Speaker 5 (02:05:43):
I guess part of it is binding the tax credits.

Speaker 6 (02:05:47):
That's right, and that's where you have to have a
reputable solar company who has customers who want to sell them.

Speaker 7 (02:05:53):
Look at it.

Speaker 6 (02:05:53):
I'm not trying I don't want to build a market
for this. I'm not trying to advertise this because I
want to do it and I don't want people acing
me out.

Speaker 7 (02:06:00):
I don't want it turning into a bidding war.

Speaker 6 (02:06:01):
I listen, she promised me right now I could buy
everything she has, and I'm.

Speaker 7 (02:06:06):
Going to buy them. I mean, why wouldn't you? This
is a hidden gem.

Speaker 6 (02:06:10):
This is like buying This is like the same no
risk thing is buying tax certificates on land and houses
and properties. If I buy a tax certificate, I will
be guaranteed of the default interest or well no matter,
or I get the land for the price of taxes.

Speaker 7 (02:06:30):
Buying tax certificates.

Speaker 6 (02:06:32):
Here's where people get in trouble buying tax certificates. They
go to an auction and they pay premiums for them.
So instead of paying just the taxes do, they end
up paying a percentage above that. And then you have
idiots who think, oh, I'm going to get a tax certificate.
And when you have an idiot, whenever there are idiots
and auctions, it's a bad auction. You want smart bidders.

(02:06:55):
Idiots overpay for everything. So they go to a tax auction.
Let's say where they're four grand ode on taxes. If
you buy that for four grand, you're guaranteed interest on
that four grand, and I think now it's nine or
ten percent, or you get the property for ten grand.
But you get an idiot in there that you bid
ten grand. They bid ten grand with one thousand dollars premium,

(02:07:18):
and then somebody else bids ten grand with a two
thousand dollars premium and then ten grand with a fourteen
All of a sudden, the interest you're making on the
ten grand because you don't make interest on the premium,
so you make interest on the ten grand. You don't
even make enough interest to pay for the premium. That's
what you call an idiot when they So, you never
want to be in an auction with an idiot. You

(02:07:38):
want someone who understands financing. What were you going to say,
d Hey, there's one risk. This is in the context
of the solar tax credits. No repine, there is one
risk that surround of you have discussed yet is but
it is moderated by the fact that you're working with
Brooke from REGA.

Speaker 7 (02:07:52):
What is the risk?

Speaker 16 (02:07:52):
Okay, they're rescindable. So the system for which the tax
credit was issued must be an operation for a certain
number of years following the issuance of this tax credit.

Speaker 8 (02:08:04):
Or it will be rescinded.

Speaker 7 (02:08:05):
Tell me what you.

Speaker 5 (02:08:06):
Mean by that.

Speaker 16 (02:08:06):
Well, so you build this solar system, get your tax credit,
and then the system goes offline. You either scrap it
or it doesn't work, or it's destroyed by hail and
you never fix it.

Speaker 6 (02:08:18):
Does does it Okay, I never even thought of how
long does the IRSA? It must be an operation for years.
Let's ask a book about that. Yeah, that is, let's
get her on the phone. That's a good point.

Speaker 7 (02:08:31):
I thought it was only you.

Speaker 6 (02:08:33):
All you need is an activation and then you're locked in.

Speaker 9 (02:08:36):
Maybe now, Demetrius, maybe the tax credit's Brooks selling have
already been in operation for whatever three years.

Speaker 7 (02:08:43):
No, No, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:08:45):
It's not I can tell you that for sure, Mark,
they're brand new systems with an activation date. They're brand
new systems. But it is a good question. What happens
if the solar system or they sell that house and
they wreck this, you know whatever. We'll say the solar
system goes down after a year or two of three?

Speaker 7 (02:09:02):
Does that mean you.

Speaker 6 (02:09:03):
Have to give that that the people are responsible for
that tax credit? And can you put in the sale
that if they do anything to kill their system, they
have to pay the burden.

Speaker 5 (02:09:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:09:14):
Let's let's find out about it.

Hi Tom Rchino, you're a troubleshooter three oh three seven

Welcome to the show.

Speaker 7 (02:10:12):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (02:10:13):
Peter?

Speaker 13 (02:10:14):
Hey Tom, I just have a shout out for local
business and a couple other comments too.

Speaker 7 (02:10:20):
Sure, go ahead, all right.

Speaker 13 (02:10:22):
So for my shout out, that would be for Mercedes
Benz of Denver. We bought a new car last year
and then had a mechanical issue with it. And yeah,
they gave us a loaner to use for about six months,
and then they were unable to fix the problem with
the car. So they they actually said go ahead and

(02:10:45):
pick out a new car and we'll make it right.
And they were. They allowed us to do a few
upgrades that we wouldn't have done otherwise, and they they
ate the difference.

Speaker 7 (02:10:57):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (02:10:58):
Isn't that sonic? A sonic dealership that I don't know?

Speaker 27 (02:11:02):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (02:11:04):
I'm glad he's Is it on Colorado Boulevard? Is it
the Mercedes of downtown Denver?

Speaker 7 (02:11:10):
Could be so.

Speaker 9 (02:11:11):
Mad at Mercedes, not not necessarily the dealer. The dealer
sounded great. But you buy a brand new Mercedes and
you want to drive it. You picked it out, but
you can't drive it because they can't fix it for
six months.

Speaker 5 (02:11:24):
That sounds horrible.

Speaker 7 (02:11:25):
What was the issue? What was the issue?

Speaker 18 (02:11:27):
Peter?

Speaker 13 (02:11:28):
We had a loaner that whole time, though, and so
that's cool.

Speaker 6 (02:11:31):
I understand that. But Peter, what is the issue? What
was the issue with your the one you bought?

Speaker 13 (02:11:36):
Yeah? The problem we had is my wife was driving
it and it wouldn't accelerate on the highway, and then
they continued to test it and were able to kind
of duplicate it, but they didn't know why it did that.

Speaker 5 (02:11:53):
That's weird.

Speaker 8 (02:11:55):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:11:55):
Lemon law would have kicked in instantly. Yeah, yeah, but
they took care of us, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 13 (02:12:01):
I mean the time that they had it, we were
looking at, you know, potentially going that route through an
attorney and.

Speaker 9 (02:12:08):
And guys, understand what I said, the dealership sounds like
they stepped up and did great. I just can't imagine
buying a new any brand and it because you know,
at that point they probably flew in an engineer from
Mercedes to look at it. I mean, when they have
a vehicle six months someone from the manufacturers showing up, right, guys,
and they still couldn't fix it. That's just crazy to me.

Speaker 13 (02:12:32):
Yeah, they had no clue why you know what she
was with it. And then for my other comments, if
I can move on from that too, tom Us talked
about the lady with the golf course property where they
had offered her a million dollars and she was I
think ninety two. That's why I apologized that this is
already brought up. But because of the capital gains taxes

(02:12:54):
that she would have had on that she would have
been approximately seven hundred thousand dollars worth of capital gains
taxes that she would have been subject to on that end.

Speaker 6 (02:13:04):
Well whoa wait, wait, you're right, you go, Well, she
would have been able to shelter only two hundred and
fifty grand. She bought it for like next to nothing,
like seventy something thousand, so or no, no, no, it
was like thirty something thousand. She was selling it for
how many million do they said? I say two million?
Or one million?

Speaker 13 (02:13:21):
It was said one but yeah, okay, if it.

Speaker 6 (02:13:23):
Was one million, she she basically would would shelter two
hundred and fifty thousand and have about seven hundred and
fifty And you're right, seven hundred and fifty subject to tax.

Speaker 13 (02:13:35):
Yeah, And so you know, taking out a reverse mortgage
would have been a good option for her a lot
of things because when she sort of passed away to
be able to pass that on to her air to
then get the stepped up value, then they would be
able to.

Speaker 6 (02:13:50):
What a good idea, what a great idea?

Speaker 13 (02:13:53):
So yeah, so she made the right choice by not
taking that money now, and then.

Speaker 7 (02:13:58):
You're right, her heirs, her airrs could do it.

Speaker 6 (02:14:01):
Her airs could do it, You're right, and they would
have the stepped up bases not pay as much in
taxes and that if she has kids, that would be great.

Speaker 7 (02:14:09):
I'm not sure she does, but that is a good point.

Speaker 2 (02:14:13):
All right.

Speaker 6 (02:14:14):
Now, when we come back, we're going to answer that.
Thank you when we come back.

Speaker 5 (02:14:18):
One thing, are you look.

Speaker 7 (02:14:25):
Pete, I don't. I got to take a break. It
doesn't matter if he does or not.

Speaker 6 (02:14:31):
Okay, listen, when we come back, Brook from Red Rocks
roof and Solar, we'll talk about how long does the
solar system have to remain in.

Speaker 7 (02:14:39):
Effect for that credit to be good?

Speaker 6 (02:14:41):
Deputy d said, if it goes out of commission in
the future, you may have to pay that credit back.

Speaker 7 (02:14:47):
We'll talk about that and more coming up.

(02:15:30):
your troubleshooter three oh three seven one three talk three
oh three seven one three.

Speaker 7 (02:15:35):
Two five five, Brook White, we were talking.

Speaker 6 (02:15:37):
About buying tax credits where people have solar systems, can't
use the credits, they don't spend enough in taxes or
then't don't have enough taxes.

Speaker 7 (02:15:45):
So they sell their credits to get cash.

Speaker 6 (02:15:47):
You can buy them for a deal, And I said,
what moron would not want.

Speaker 7 (02:15:51):
To buy tax credits. You can pay for taxes.

Speaker 6 (02:15:56):
And you get a thirty percent discount or more, and
then and you use those credits to pay your taxes.

Speaker 7 (02:16:04):
And then Dimitri.

Speaker 6 (02:16:06):
Said he read where the risk is even if you
have an activated system, the risk is if it goes
offline for any reason, you have to pay those credits back.

Speaker 28 (02:16:20):
I mean, I'm not sure if there's a specific time
link or something that he wants me to review where
he found this information. Because warranty claims happen all the
time on the equipment where the equipment, you know, might
be down for a couple of weeks while an inverter
get swapped out. But I've never once heard of anybody
having to repay a tax credit because of a situation

(02:16:44):
like that.

Speaker 6 (02:16:44):
Well how about a situation Well no, no, no, no, no no, no,
we're not talking about We're not talking about a normal repair.

Speaker 7 (02:16:51):
What we're talking about is this. Let's say they get
a tax credit, they have the system on their house.

Speaker 6 (02:16:57):
Let's say they have to move real quick because of something.
The new owners don't want the system, or they don't
activate it, or it's not running, or it goes out
of order and it's not fixed, or as Mark said,
they get so bold as they take the equipment off
the roof and sell it. I'm just saying, is there
anything in the law that says the system must be

(02:17:20):
active for a certain number of years after receiving a
tax credit.

Speaker 28 (02:17:26):
Yeah, I've never seen any documentation that's like that. The
only documentation that I know of is if you build
a solar field, you have a priceis per agreement with
the utility company, so you are required to send them
so much power from the solar field that they're buying
it for. So that's a contract that you could get
in trouble for. But for a normal house, I've never

(02:17:49):
seen that, because if your house isn't producing, the utility
company's just going to charge you what what you use
for power anyways, so they actually make more money by
you not getting your system activated.

Speaker 9 (02:18:03):
So it's your funmitre though running Demitri you're reading this
from the IRS, right where are you reading this info?

Speaker 16 (02:18:12):
So I did some research show on this last night,
and I can't remember what my sources, but I'm going
to come up with it again and I'll forward it
to Brook to see if I was.

Speaker 6 (02:18:22):
There is no federal mandate on the duration the system
operation must take post installation.

Speaker 7 (02:18:29):
They concentrate on the first year only.

Speaker 6 (02:18:31):
It's important to note that if the system is taken
out of service shortly after installation, it may raise questions
with the IRS in an audit. Therefore, maintaining the system's
operation to ensure compliance during the first year will avoid
any issues there is. This is now I'm going by
Chat GPT. This is not Tom Martine. I'm not getting

(02:18:53):
in a sword fight here. All I'm saying is is
that the according to Chat GPT, there is no mandate
time the system must be up and running.

Speaker 5 (02:19:02):
And even if they did audit it.

Speaker 7 (02:19:04):
But hold on, but even Chat has been wrong before.

Speaker 9 (02:19:07):
Even if they did audit it the IRS, I would
still have the assumption they're not going to go after
the person that bought the tax credits. They're going to
go after the person that initially got them.

Speaker 6 (02:19:18):
You're you're absolutely right, that's absolutely positively right.

Speaker 28 (02:19:22):
And then to make yourself covered in the contract where
you purchase the tax credits, you should just put in
there that I'm in order for this to work, the
owner of the system has to make sure that the
system is activated and up and running for three years.

Speaker 5 (02:19:39):
Yeah, but you would have no recourse Brooke the problem.

Speaker 6 (02:19:42):
Yeah, hold on, you would have recourse on it because
these people Brook nowhere.

Speaker 7 (02:19:47):
Look at tox credits, this chat.

Speaker 6 (02:19:50):
This chat is citing all kinds of sources where the
federal government does not mandate a specific amount of time.
But we'll research it to see if it's accurate. We
got We're out of time. Save all your problems for me.
