About Timothy Dugas
Local knowledge of two very different short-term rental markets: two paths, one guide.
Whether you're buying a pure investment property, a second home you'll use part of the year and rent out the rest, or a primary residence with short-term rental income potential, this is what I specialize in. I bring a clear understanding of how the Durango and Pagosa Springs markets each work to every conversation.

Know Before You Buy
Buying a short-term rental isn't the same as buying a regular home, and it takes a different kind of agent to get it right. Here's what that looks like when we work together.
I Check the Rules
Durango and Pagosa Springs each come with their own zoning restrictions, permit limits, regulations, and HOA rules that can determine whether a property can legally operate as a short-term rental at all. I look into the permit process for you before you write an offer, not after.
I Run the Numbers
Before you fall in love with a property, I run the numbers, projected income, expenses, and what it would actually take to make the deal work, so your decision is grounded in reality, not just a nice listing photo.
I Help You Weigh Both Markets
Durango and Pagosa Springs perform differently as short-term rental markets, different demand drivers, different regulations, different buyer pools. If you're weighing both, I'll help you compare them honestly so you can decide which one, and which type of property, actually fits what you're trying to achieve.
