Investment Info:
Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.
Purchase price: $350,000
Cash invested: $70,000
SFH with tons of deferred updates and zoned for an additional dwelling unit (ADU). The goal at purchase was to house hack and convert the detached four car garage into a 2/1 ADU. Due to changing zoning rules with the city of Denver there was significant delay but they eventually approved the project and the project is underway. Construction loan with Collegiate Peaks Bank is being used to fund the project with relatively low interest rate of about 5.5% during construction.
Once done the project should comp out >500K and the ADU should rent for between 1500 and 1700 which will cover the bulk of my mortgage. Let me know if you have any questions.
