Lynn Buys Houses & Lynn Renovates Houses

Watching HGTV makes it look so easy. (Personally I have never worn a dress and high heels on a construction site!).

There is a vibrant, passionate investing community in Cheyenne who meet and share stories, offer help, laugh and sometimes cry.

If you have any inkling real estate investing might be for you, this is a group you want to be part of. And tonight’s topic is sure to be fascinating.

Over the years we have gotten questions about renovating and investing. While always happy to share knowledge and experiences, this is a great opportunity to hear from some real experts about real estate investing (which is much different than on TV!). There is still time to attend.

Haven’t had a FREE garage sale in awhile. But we have accumulated a bunch of stuff. Some stuff from The Downtowner, some stuff from staging and some stuff with unknown origins.

Lots and lots of pillows, throw pillows, linens, comforters. So many Knick knacks.

Won’t be able to answer questions about what may or may not be there. I’d recommend bringing boxes or garbage sacks.

1719 Central (SE corner-down the ramp and into the parking structure).

Is it sad that we find few things more exciting than finding hardwood floors under some avacado green carpet?😀😏

Thank you to Cheyenne Board of REALTORS for organizing an army to provide such a visible presence in school zones all across Cheyenne.

It was fun to see how excited kids are on their first day. They are laser focused on getting to the playground; they deserve to get there safely.

Thanks to the energetic Sarah Compton of Wyoming Congressional Award for giving out 👍 and 👎 to all the drivers. (We brought our own turtle prop as a reminder to slow down). Thanks to all the folks at 9th and Deming for being such good sports as kids were on their way to Cole Elementary.

A huge thank you to Angel Maldonado and the team of volunteers who have worked hard to organize this great event. Thank you for allowing us to contribute to this amazing effort, We Got Your Back .

Free hair cuts, back pack and school supplies and a whole lot of fun all happening today. Thanks to them there will be a bunch of well coiffed and equipped kids starting school tomorrow.

2 renovated properties we have available 🏡

Our favorite real estate sales team is expanding and looking for a new team member. If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out to them.

We talk a lot about trying to provide a simple, minimalist, community kind of life-style. It certainly is not everyone’s goal, but there are situations where we present the perfect option: don’t want to commit to a long-term lease or other permanent housing? In transition? In Cheyenne working and want something more like home and less like a hotel? Something affordable? Something downtown (especially as spring and summer approach)? Want to clean your entire living space in less than an hour?😂. Want to never cook anything more difficult than toast, but rather take an elevator ride to a restaurant? We can be all that and a fun place!

If you are at all curious, visit today’s open house. 5:30 to 6:30. 1719 Central, The Downtowner Studios.

Searching for a “little bit of everything” part time person. The job is located at The Downtowner and includes: turning rooms, cleaning common areas, light maintenance like touch-up painting. Four hours per day, five days per week. $15 per hour. Please text 307 421 8296 for details.

In February we will celebrate our 2-year anniversary of purchasing the property at 1719 Central, which was known as The Central Plaza and renamed The Downtowner Studios.

We've shared our journey with you and appreciate all the love and support. In some ways it seems like yesterday, but then I look at Carter's very gray beard and am brought back to reality.

We are on our way to fulfilling the dream of creating a great space with a sense of community open to serve those folks in transition who don't want to commit to long-term lodging, or those who are just ready for downsizing and living a really simple life where the most pressing chore is what to have for dinner at Paris West, or those in Cheyenne working on the many projects going on.

If you know someone in one of those situations, we'd be so appreciative of your referring them. (And if they end up staying for 30 days or more, you will get a $50 Paris West gift card).

Bell ringing for The Salvation Army today at Sam’s we are reminded of how great and generous our community is.

Of course it helped it is 52 degrees (thank goodness), but everyone was all smiles today. Thank you.

If you don’t know much about the Salvation Army, we encourage you to look them up. They do great things in Cheyenne.

And now that The Downtowner is "done," (not that a project is ever really done!) it is time to fill it up. We have been blessed with some really fantastic guests. Some have been here for years. Some several months and some brand new.

There are many wonderful places, but we are essentially a new building with nice amenities in a fantastic location. All that and significantly less expensive than similar properties.

Tours held several times per week.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce Red Carpet ceremony and our grand opening.

It was the culmination of a very interesting, educational, emotional and exhausting 18 months. We couldn't have done it without the support of family and friends (and yesterday we were too emotional to properly thank them publicly).

Thank you so much to Bailey Anthony, Brentton Anthony and support of Joy Butz, Taylor Spaulding Mendoza, and Laura Phipps of Lynn Manages Houses. Bailey and Brentton may roll their eyes, but at the end of the day support all my crazy ideas. Carrie Weaver for always being in my corner.

Thank you to close friends, Kristen M. Greene-Boyles, Luis Antonio Mendoza, Bryan 'Alf' Grzegorczyk, Mike Casner and Kerry Casner (not only personally, but also for the tons and tons of debris they hauled away) and so many others. I've been a horrible family member and friend the last 18 months, but they stuck with me anyway.

Carter and I would both like to thank Michele Dehoff at Jonah Bank, Wyoming Smart Capital Network, James Bowers and Dalia Aseem and family for giving us the opportunity to purchase the hotel.

A special thanks to Dave Teubner who saw us both on some of our worst days with problems that seemed too big to solve. He always talked us through and helped us find solutions.

Carter would like to publicly thank his entire family for picking up lots of grandpa/grandma, uncle and aunt time to watch his daughter while he was working until the wee hours. And not only that, but even last night when we ran out of Coke, they were but a phone call away to help. They have been that way the entire project.

You know that saying "it takes a village to raise a child?" Turns out it also takes a village to renovate a hotel! Thank you seems insignificant, but it is very heartfelt.

Downtowner #1719 Central

You know when the sign changes, it is official!

Thank you to the amazingly talented artistry of Jordan Dean and Carter’s muscle, both working late into the night to get this done.

The Downtowner was the property’s original name when built in 1961. Carter and I wanted to honor the significance this corner of downtown has had for so many years and take it back to its roots. Jordan’s updated logo is beautiful isn’t it! And Carter’s muscle isn’t as visible, but he ran those tools and machines like he has been doing it all his life 😀.

Please join us for today’s grand opening at The Downtowner!
