Routt County's booming real estate market during the better part of this decade attracted buyers of all sorts, many with an interest in capitalizing on the investment potential of mountain resort property. Former Steamboat resident Marcus Williams was no different. House of Cards, a five-part series by the Steamboat Pilot and Today, debuts Friday.

This guy has left nothing in the house. He has taken out the entire kitchen, the toliets, sinks cupboards and all of the fixtures. He may have built it to keep it but he certainly didn't leave anything but a skeleton for the bank.

Wow!
How could he possibly have been so naive.He indicates that Steamboat is kinda a boom,or bust town,yet he marches straight in with a housing market that had appreciated over 50% during the previous 3 years.He suggests that the house represents him and that he had planned to live there.Yet he seemed to have no idea as to how to decorate the house.Perhaps he was just planning for the bigger fool to come along.When the music did finally slow down,it just seems that he wants to blame Steamboat for his own serious bad judgement.At least,I hope that he did enjoy his own 15 minutes.
