Idea guru needed, profi/ best use on RO-3 rental Uptown Denver
I own a 5500 sq ft lot with a 2200 sq ft victorian on it in Uptown, West City Park, Denver. Zoned RO-3
Home has lovely space, great location, 3 car garage, never a vacant month 18 years, I don't want to hold the home itself past 5 years, but I don't want to completely lose the land.
I leveraged to 70% so I can buy more, develop or grow somehow which sadly I have been just holding refi cash for a year paralyzed in fear, I currently break even or lose slightly with the refi, rental income/expenses including mediocre property management 10.5% but I haven't been in the area for years.
So....about the future I need a plan, I need this property and refi to get me out of working 5 years from now.... and still keep a unit or part of the lot....the world is so uncertain I don't want to give up having a roof over my head that is paid off and in a great location...I am struggling with that now having lost my LA apartment after 17 years and being outpriced to stay.
RO-3 is eligible for 3 story multi-unit, office and or living
These thoughts may be inaccurate, I have no experience just a lot of ideas, no partner to work with yet, my research leads me in insecure circles and i have no idea what is actually possible, I am out of touch with Denver and not sure where to turn for a reliable resource with facts, answers, ability...
- Rent as different use, higher price, rather than residential single family for up to 5 years while I make a plan (furnishing would need to be purchased or rented)
- Furnished bedrooms, furnished living, monthly individual room rentals
- Unfurnished bedrooms, furnished coliving space, monthly room rentals
- Business rental
- Garage profit
- Continue SF rental
- Subdivide and sell but keep myself space for a tiny home
- Partner with a developer
- Multi-story, maximize units, sell individual, sell building, rent all, unit has to be kept for myself
- 2-3 large units
Help.
