Because I have spent an awful lot of time in these types of homes, I felt a sense of connnection to this article in the Denver Post today.
I have seen the photos left behind... children's school work on the floor... toys abandoned in the backyard... and occassionally the massive "tear outs" when people leave a home with bitterness and anger.
There's both an economic side and a human component to the foreclosure drama that has played out in Colorado.
For first-time buyers, investors and others who are taking advantage of steep REO discounts, this is a season of tremendous opportunity.
For those leaving homes they could not afford, it's a season of pain and sorrow.
There's a lot of emotion in this housing market, both positive and negative. When you walk through a foreclosed home, you feel both sides of it.
