Deal Analysis – 11 Unit Apartment Building

October 21, 2020 • Chris Lopez

Our client was an out of state, first time investor looking to get into the Denver market as he plans to relocate to Denver in the future and knows  Denver has a strong real estate market. He is planning for retirement and looking to build up a strong portfolio of properties with good cashflow and appreciation upside.

We were able to find a great 11 unit building in Aurora that had some upside in rents with a little updating and better management. This deal was certainly unique as we navigated the majority of it remotely with our client during many of the COVID restrictions.

This property closed Q3 – 2020.

Conclusion

For the location and condition of this property this was a solid deal and as you’ll see in the analysis, with a little bit of updating and better management this will be a low 6% CAP in Aurora that will benefit greatly from all of the development and Opportunity Zone work going on in the area.
