Denver is Booming and So Are Rentals

Rentals aren’t going out of style anytime soon. As an investor, rental properties are a fantastic way to bring in income. A can make that a reality!

Denver is a hot spot for people who are looking to move to the mountains. Companies are buying up surrounding areas and bringing jobs, as well. All those people need places to live and renting is the way to go for some of them.

If you’re an investor, or want to become an investor, here are some tips for using your Colorado rental property loan to its maximum potential!

Know the Numbers

A rookie mistake that some rental investors make is to overestimate the value of their property. You may think that listing the property for a higher rent value means more monthly income, but that could lead to vacancies and price reductions that could hurt your bottom line. You want to know the area and the rent potential for your property like the back of your hand in order to be successful.

Understand Demographics

Renters are just as picky about the area they’re living in as buyers. They want to be close to shopping and transportation. For renters with families, they want to be close to good schools. Pick your properties strategically and in desirable neighborhoods to snag top dollar!

Don’t Over-Improve

Rentals are bound to need repairs and will have turnover so spending money on expensive upgrades isn’t the best use for your money. Instead hold onto that money for a new dishwasher if the old one breaks or to advertise for new tenants if you find yourself with a vacancy. Having a cash reserve is important for a rental investor and you definitely don’t want to put a large chunk of your Colorado rental property loan towards home upgrades.

If you’re choosing your properties strategically based on rental potential and location using your money for necessary upgrades rather than extra improvements, you’re on the right track to have great passive income from a rental property.
