Why is Denver real estate a great investment?  Colorado's Front Range, including the areas between Denver, Boulder, and Ft. Collins, affords residents with a quality of life that's hard to find anywhere else.  I recently saw the following interview on FoxNews with Greg Rand of OwnAmerica.com, where he does a good job of explaining how and why he thinks the Northern Colorado real estate market is a great place to invest right now:
 


Greg makes some compelling points in this interview, not the least of which is the fact that Denver-area foreclosure rates are just 1/2 of the national average.  The relatively unique situation we have right now with single-family-home investing is also really important to note.  Basically, there are some real advantages to single-family vs. say multi-family investing right now:

  • Single-family home prices have been facing downward pressure because of comparable sales, while rents have increased.  From an investment standpoint, that's a good combination that increases returns.
  • By contrast, apartment values are increasing along with rents, as their value is tied directly to cash flows.
  • Single-family homes are more "granular", as Greg describes it, which is basically a comparison of the ability to sell one home in a portfolio vs. having to sell an entire apartment building.
The bottom line is that there are some very compelling reasons to look at single-family investing right now, and the Denver/Boulder area is a great place to consider investing in right now!
