Knocking it down solves all your problems. Your choice.

Why don't you build it above the garage and eliminate that problem?

GREAT first home for folks in Denver interested in the real estate market. This GMU-3 zoned property has just under 6% gross cap with NO expected upkeep, no deferred maintenance. Renovated with NEW roof, NEW 100 year sewer, NEW H/A, NEW garage, NEW baths and most of kitchen. Wood floors and tile. Attractive. Laundry in both units. Raised garden. Excellent renters. Gross rents 3360/mo. w/scheduled 3% increase per year. Live in one and let renters make most of your payment to live on Sloan's Lake. This area is RAPIDLY headed for $400 a square foot, so buy now before you miss out on this appreciation!

Jennifer, I love your focus on community and giving back!! The fact is, by how you live your life and conduct your business you will be given many opportunities to do so. Example: I just sold a home which, if I pushed really hard, could have gotten $10-20K more for it. BUT, I helped a young, newly married couple who got the city grant money work through the sale by owner, and now they have a really lovely starter home. This gives me great joy! Also, in one of my buildings, the people there, inspired by our relationships, have formed a "community". They tell me this every time they pay rent. "We're watching out for your home! We are helping our neighbor!" etc. That is a real tear jerker! Not to mention the little choices when doing a flip, such as "should we do it the RIGHT way or the OK way?". It's great to create a life where making a difference and providing excellent homes is a core value. Over time, your product will reflect your decisions. Good luck with your new career and don't let little downturns get you "down". Put a savings account together to cover the inevitable challenges. Then GO FOR IT!!! 

Carriage houses have to be sold with the main house. Tandem homes can be divided if sewer, etc is done property.

OK, Thanks, Bill!! 

Fantastic, thanks! 

I want to build a Tandem House on a property zoned for it. Seeking as much information as possible. Has someone done one yet? I hear they are rare so far. Zoning/permitting issues? Cost vs ADU? Highest and best use of property? Specific experience or insights? Builder familiar with it?

THANK YOU!!

Thanks, James. I found out that this lot of good for "Tandem House" which allows more square footage and the ability to divide the lot and sell just one in the future. More information on that is greatly appreciated. I seek a builder who can do it!!
