On this episode of Water Talk, Paul Dowding, Owner of Water Pro’s and Host Scott Whatley discuss a recent news story out of Aurora, CO. In the first year of the state’s new Mobile Home Water Quality Act, 27 parks, more than 10% of those tested had drinking water quality issues, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “We’re concerned about any kind of contamination that represents a health issue from drinking water,” said Ron Falco, safe drinking water program manager at CDPHE. The contaminants documented range from harmful bacteria to arsenic over the federal maximum contaminant level, high manganese levels that state officials say can be dangerous for bottle-fed infants and disinfection byproducts linked to cancer risk over time. Paul reminds our “Well Water Listeners” that Water from private wells is not regulated and is not tested as regularly, so private well owners are responsible for their own testing. Take control of the quality of your water today, call 303-862-5554 and ask for your free in home water test, check out the website at www.WaterPros.net.

Then it’s Your Legacy Your Way, with Estate Planning Attorney Carolyn Duncan. Host Scott Whatley speaks with Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal about some critical steps to building a solid estate plan that protects your family and your legacy. It begins with taking an inventory of your assets, from property and investments to digital accounts. Next, clearly define your goals and beneficiaries to ensure your wishes are honored. Creating or updating your will is essential to direct asset distribution and appoint an executor. Establishing a trust can help avoid probate, minimize taxes, and safeguard loved ones. Designating powers of attorney for financial and medical decisions ensures someone you trust can act on your behalf if needed. Advance healthcare directives, such as a living will, guide end-of-life choices with compassion and clarity. Finally, review your plan regularly—especially after major life changes—to keep it current and effective. Together, these steps provide peace of mind and a lasting framework for protecting what matters most.

On this episode of The Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt Rogers, Managing Broker at Affordable Interest Mortgage is with us to discuss
what truly determines your mortgage interest rate and why credit score plays the biggest role. While factors like income, equity, loan-to-value (LTV), and loan amount matter, the most influential is your credit score, which ranges from 300 (high risk) to 850 (low risk). Major lenders like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae handle about 90% of all mortgages, and each loan must include Loan Level Pricing Adjustments (LLPAs) fees that reflect borrower risk. Kurt breaks down how credit scores directly impact costs: a 680 vs. 720 FICO can mean thousands in added fees or higher rates. Other risk factors include property type, loan purpose, and cash-out refinances. He also reviews what affects credit scores payment history (35%), credit utilization (30%), and credit age, mix, and new credit (35% combined). Kurt Rogers is our exclusive Mortgage Broker. Call Kurt at (720) 895-0500 and explore your mortgage refinance options if you have high interest debt! Kurt is saving real clients, real money! Check out the website at www.aimortgage.net.
