My calculated cap rate is 4.73%.I just finished a full foundation up remodel on our primary residence, we owe $1.22m at 4.25% on a 30 year on the mortgage and have a private construction loan with a balance of 490k at 5% on a 20 year.  

The baseline now in Denver is having a hot tub, game room/area, house theme, high end finishes, professional photography, etc.

I am in AZ and the 4% is what is on their website, but my buddy is using them in Denver and he said it was 4% as well.
