Buying 2 to 4 Units in Denver

• House hacking with 3.5 percent down. FHA lets you buy a 2 to 4 unit property in Denver as an owner-occupant with 3.5 percent down and count 75 percent of the rents toward qualifying. VA does it with zero down. Conventional owner-occupied duplexes go at 5 percent.
• The numbers. Rents, vacancy, taxes, insurance, water, maintenance and management. We build the sheet from the seller's leases and the actual bills, not the listing's pro forma.
• Leases and tenants transfer. You buy the leases in place. Colorado's landlord-tenant rules, security deposits and notice periods apply from day one.
• Zoning and legal units. A "duplex" in Denver with one meter and no permit is a single family home with a problem. We check the zoning and the permit history.
• Separate systems. Separate meters, furnaces and water heaters make a building easier to run and worth more. Shared systems mean you pay the utilities.

How to Buy a Multi-Family Property in Denver

1. Decide owner-occupied or investment. It sets the loan, the down payment and which Denver buildings work.
2. Get pre-approved so your offer in Denver carries weight the day you find the right home.
3. Tour with a Kenna agent, 7 days a week. We show you the home, the block and the closed comps.
4. Write with inspection, appraisal and loan deadlines that protect you, and negotiate what the inspection finds.
5. Close. Most Denver closings run 30 to 45 days.

Denver Questions

Can I buy a fourplex with an FHA loan in Denver?

Yes, as an owner-occupant with 3.5 percent down, up to the four-unit FHA limit for the county. The property has to pass the FHA self-sufficiency test on 3 and 4 units.

What do multi-family homes rent for in Denver?

It depends on the unit size and the block. Your Kenna agent pulls the current rents from the seller's leases and the market rents from the comps before you write.

Do I need a property manager?

Not for a duplex you live in. For 3 or more units or an out-of-town owner, a Denver manager runs 8 to 10 percent of rents and earns it.

Can I see a Denver multi-family property today?

Yes. Call or text 303-955-4220 and a Kenna agent sets the showing with the tenants, 7 days a week.
