Hey there- we help clients get into investment properties in Denver and Colorado Springs, and would say the main thing is to be very clear on what your most important metric is (cash on cash, cash flow, cap rate, etc.) because we often see people look at multiple metrics, which can make it very hard to make a decision.

Both investments represent different levels of activity, if you were to own them.

I know because I run investment properties for clients in Denver and Colorado Springs, and these are items to consider.

As Denver has just been rated the hardest place for a first time home buyer, I've started a list of things that I think help our clients, but am interested in what other BP agents and people have to add to help make it easier for first time home buyers.Write a strong offer letter that's personalized to the place and makes you seem like someone the seller wants to help outIf you know the owner still lives in the place, consider mailing your letter so that it stands out from emailMake your offer as close to cash as possible - this is possible if you go further into the lending process than just getting pre-qualifiedConsider a market that's still appealing, but less expensive and up and coming (aka, talking to you Colorado Springs)Go with a local lender- local lenders return phone calls, work off hours and know contacts in the area- they can make the seller's life (and their agent's life) much easierBe as flexible as possible with your time.

Those who choose to scale up still have to manage the employees.

But, it does show that the assumptions you make when doing your modeling about inflation's impact on your income and expenses can be far reaching over a 40 year analysis.If it matters, this was based on a property in Severance, Colorado (near Fort Collins, Windsor, Greeley areas) but I don't think the property in this example has a huge impact on the difference between the scenarios.
