Navigating Entitlements for Glampgrounds
Today, I sat down with Skyler Moore of Modus Real Estate who's launching Lost Fork - Colorado's newest clamping project just an hour from Denver. We talk his unlikely start in real estate, the challenges of finding and building his new project, and what the market looks like moving forward.
Skyler first obtained his real estate license in college while attending the University of Iowa for finance. He moved to Colorado in late 2008 to begin purchasing foreclosed properties. Since then, he has purchased, rehabbed and sold over 100 properties in the Denver market. He co-founded MODUS Real Estate to fill a need in the market for cutting edge marketing and high level customer service. In his free time, Skyler enjoys fly fishing, traveling, golf and spending time in the mountains.
