I just moved to Fort Collins in March of 2007 and I am renting until my lease is up in March of 2008 and then I will buy something. From everything I have heard about Fort Collins, it is a great idea to buy and then rent it out. With the market being bad there are a lot of forclosures and so people rent. Also, keep in mind that there is the college here too. If you don't want college renters try to stay on the east side. I found my rental property through:

also, here is the local paper:

So far my only advice would be to stay away from the Waterglen neighborhood. Homes are less expensive, but the number of forclosures is insane. So it might take that development quite awhile to recover. Feel free to ask me questions, and I will as around for you.
