Buying my first home Denver. $100k saved

Areas like Aurora, Arvada, and parts of Lakewood or Westminster can be good places to look, depending on your budget and target tenant.If you’re looking for a base hit rather than a home run, focus on finding a property where the numbers work reasonably well as-is—cash flow might not be huge initially, but if you’ve got room to add value and refinance, you’ll build equity to reinvest.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.
