Two more years of economic turmoil I guess…
By Ryan Casey Stephens, FPQP®Special Contributor There are four schools of thought in U.S. politics, though only three get a vote. Left, right, and center get most of the attention during campaign season while the fourth is often overlooked. Despite its inability to walk into a voting booth to cast...
I get a little sad each year when it gets dark early and while I love that extra hour, daylight savings time kills me. The good news is that starting Dec 21 the days will get longer until June. Every year I want to throw a party on the longest day! The promise of more sunlight helps me suffer through losing an hour in spring. But the biggest boost of all is the holiday lights! They just get me in an elevated mood so much and I hear they will be brighter than ever this year!
Locals know the attractions that are worth traveling for during the winter holiday months — but save your gas money, Dallasites, and find a home near one of the most fabulous light shows in the Lone Star State. The homes featured in this edition of Candy’s Dirt Open Houses of the Week are shin...

Telluride is a snowglobe-worthy dream during the winter and skiing the stellar slopes is massive fun, it’s true. But it’s just as beautiful in the summer, and there are actually far more activity choices in the warmer months.
Ever since I can remember, my family’s preferred vacation spot has always been Telluride, Colorado. My parents started going there to ski when they were datin

Summer is always a busy time for national parks. But ever since the onslaught of COVID renewed Americans’ interest in road trips and exploring their own backyard, visits at many national parks reached unprecedented highs during recent summers.
It’s a good idea to start looking ahead several months when it comes to national parks visits, as availability can book up very quickly. Plus, several popular national parks truly do shine in the winter. A winter visit provides the chance to beat the crowds as well as the heat.
Here are just a few of the best national parks to visit in the winter:

Ouray is a charming mountain town in southwest Colorado with scenic Rocky Mountain views, hot springs, and a historic downtown.
Just on the other side of a towering ridge of San Juan Mountains peaks, Ouray shares the very same stunning scenery, though perhaps less of the media and celebrity attention that Telluride is known to receive. The towns are only nine miles apart as the crow flies, but it will take you about an hour to drive the 50 miles of roads required to liaise in between– unless you’re willing to brave the precipitous four-wheeler drive up through Imogene Pass, that is.

You’ve likely already heard about Pacaso, the second home-buying startup launched by Zillow vet Spencer Rascoff and dotloop founder Austin Allison that offers fractional ownership and income potential to vacation home buyers. But what if you want to purchase your second home on your own? And what if you don’t want to deal with any of the pesky property management or leasing?
As second homebuying heats up with the summer temperatures, so has a new vacation home buying startup — Summer. It’s like Pacaso in that it helps streamline second home buying by offering specific properties with solid income potential with none of the hassles of property management and leasing. Where it differs is that Summer buyers will own the property in a partnership with the startup and they have three whole years to decide whether it’s right for them before going all-in on the property.
This Midcentury Modern in the Hudson Valley is one of a few properties offered by the second home startup Summer. (Photos: Summer) You've likely already hear
