Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $580,000
Cash invested: $120,000

Smallest home in the best part of town. My business partners and I purchased this to improve in the next year or two - plan to add +/- 1,500 SF when the construction market cools a little and material costs come down :). In the interim, we did a small energy upgrade, including increasing attic insulation by 4x, insulating water heater and pipes, caulking and gap sealing, added LED lighting and 220 V power to the garage for EV charging. We also added some interior work, such as a new install of a recycled door and hardware. Doing our part to lessen the impact that our homes have on the planet!

Yep - moved a tenant in today - $300 positive cash flow.  Serendipity!  My partners and I (daughters) are most interested in the great parts of town, and we're looking mostly for development opportunities in the mid to long term.  Our goal is to - one at a time - green up the existing housing stock.  True that, deals are few and far between, and $300 is chump change, but it is positive, plus the next sale just down the street - admittedly larger - listed for $865, closed this week for $990. Yep - $125 over asking.  amazing..... Our company is women owned (Brittany and Torin are 60% combined).  I suggested they navigate to your site and dive into "Denver women invest" article.  Love to meet sometime!
