One of the most common questions investors ask is “Are there good investment properties in Denver”? The answer is “yes.” Rather than telling people that there are good cash flowing deals out there, showing real deals is the best answer! This page shows a partial list of properties that we’ve closed for clients and our selves.
The majority of investment properties are analyzed using our Denver rental property analysis spreadsheet.

Deal Analysis – Rental Property Purchased During COVID-19 Pandemic
This is a condo in one of our favorite investor complexes in Aurora. We originally put an offer in but lost out to a cash offer. It fell out of contract when the stock market tanked due to COVID.

Deal Analysis – Fourplex in Westminster, CO Opportunity Zone
Chris Lopez purchased this Westminster fourplex in a 1031 exchange from an out of state property. Chris and the seller worked together so they could have a closing time favorable to both parties. It was very much a “win-win” transaction. The property was attractive to Chris, because it was renovated which should keep maintenance and capital expenditures low for many years. Higher cap rates could have been achieved with four individual condos, but keeping it simple with one transaction to minimize potential 1031 issues was ideal.

Aurora condos are typically the best cash flowing investment properties in the current Denver metro real estate market. Our clients picked up their third rental property in Aurora.

Deal Analysis – Westminster Townhouse House Hack
This analysis breaks down helping a first-time homebuyer and new investor to buy his first house hack. Our search focused on townhomes, since they have lower price points than detached homes. While he’s living there, the rent from two roommates ($850 each) more than covers his mortgage and HOA payments. He’s practically living for free! When he moves out after the one year mark, the numbers make sense as a rental property too. A solid win-win!
