Live Music in Colorado Springs at the Ford Amphitheater

Residents of Colorado Springs have had to travel to Denver for seemingly decades to attend concerts at outdoor venues like Fiddlers Green, Red Rocks, and even Coors Field. Last summer, that all changed when the Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs opened its doors. Much to residents’ delight, One Republic opened the venue, and a host of big names have continued to book concerts at this unique outdoor venue located just outside of the United States Air Force Academy. Check out all of the artists who will be performing at the Ford Amphitheater in 2025. Tickets can be purchased through AXS, and for an extra unique experience, try upgrading to a firepit suite!

Are you looking for a VA Assumable Loan in Colorado? We have you covered!

Many sellers purchased their homes when interest rates were below 4%, making their homes ideal "assumption" opportunities. Work with your Realtor to find a home that is offering a VA assumption. If you have your own VA entitlement, you would use it on your assumption purchase, and agree to release the sellers' VA entitlement so they could use their entitlement on a future home purchase. If you don't have your own VA entitlement, you will have to ask the seller if they are willing to part with theirs in order to have you assume their loan when you purchase the home. Of note: on an assumption purchase, you are only able to assume the existing loan amount at the existing rate.
