I wish I was the one to purchase the both of them because if I did I'd make it into a low income housing project and let all my friends move in :)

HI Kris, Loan Investing has been a wonderful strategy for my company over the last 5 years. I've been able to buy multiple loans in my own back yard from banks and sellers who had carried back a note. The returns have ranged from the low to high double digits with a high level of security (20 - 60 % LTV). I don't see loan sales slowing for a long time for no other reason that we have 20 years worth of FDIC 'loss-share' assets waiting to be disposed. Thanks for the article!

Charter named first CHPS-certified green school in state

10 July 2012 | Posted in Green Building

Alta Vista Charter School recently was named the first Collaborative for High Performance Schools-certified green school in Colorado.

The K-6 charter school in Lamar was certified by CHPS, a national organization dedicated to optimizing K-12 learning environments and improving student performance and the entire educational experience.

SlaterPaull Architects designed the school, which was constructed by JHL Constructors. The project includes a 23,000-square-foot building addition and renovation of the original 1917 schoolhouse. The school received a grant from the Colorado Department of Education's Building Excellent School's Today project and additional funding from the Gates Family Foundation. Read more in the July 4 issue of the Colorado Real Estate Journal.
