About starter homes in Denver

Down payment is smaller than you think. Three percent conventional, 3.5 percent FHA, zero VA and USDA where eligible. Colorado's CHFA and metroDPA programs stack on top for qualified Denver buyers.

Payment, not price. Taxes, insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance set the monthly number. Two Denver homes at the same price can differ by $300 a month.

Condo or house. A townhome or condo gets a first buyer into Denver for less, with HOA dues. A small house on a lot costs more and builds more equity. We show you both.

Inspect and negotiate. Starter homes are older homes. Roof, furnace, sewer line and electrical are the four items; sellers in Denver credit for them.

Seller credits. A seller-paid closing-cost credit is standard on starter homes and cuts your cash to close. We ask for it.

Get pre-approved with the assistance programs included. A CHFA participating lender runs CHFA and metroDPA for Denver buyers in one call.
