Running the Numbers on Lakewood Income Property

• Actual rents, not pro forma. The leases and the seller's tax return tell the truth. The listing's projected rent is a sales tool.
• Expenses. Taxes, insurance, utilities the owner pays, maintenance, vacancy and management. Cap rate is income after all of them.
• Financing. Owner-occupied 2 to 4 units go FHA at 3.5 percent down. Pure investment property needs 15 to 25 percent down and a higher rate. Rental income counts toward qualifying.
• Legal units and zoning. A basement rental without egress or a permit is not income the lender counts and not income the city allows. We check Lakewood zoning and permits first.
• Tenants convey. Leases, deposits and Colorado's landlord rules transfer at closing. Read the leases before you write.

Small residential in Lakewood trades at 4 to 6 percent on actual numbers. Anything above that deserves a hard look at the expenses.

Can I use rental income to qualify?

Yes. Lenders count 75 percent of documented rent on the units you do not live in. On a new purchase they use the appraiser's rent schedule.

Should I self-manage?

A duplex you live in, yes. Three or more units or a property across town, a Lakewood manager at 8 to 10 percent earns it.
