Second mortgages on Pueblo and Pueblo West rentals you do not live in: $50K to $1M, up to 80% CLTV. Business purpose, subject to underwriting.
Typical terms, subject to underwriting and market conditions. Investment property and business purpose only. Not a commitment to lend.
Pueblo's basis sits below every other Colorado metro, while its rents hold up well against that low entry price. Values are drifting down here, not up, so the case for the metro is what the rent covers each month, not a bet on appreciation.
A parcel inside Pueblo city limits carries the city's mill levy, one in Pueblo West carries the metropolitan district's levy instead, and one in unincorporated Pueblo County outside either carries neither. The same house can price out differently depending on which side of an unmarked line it sits on.
A large share of Pueblo's homes were built before the 1978 federal lead-paint ban, so lead-safe work practices, old wiring, and outdated supply lines are ordinary line items on a rehab scope here, not surprises that blow a budget.

Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.
