Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Denver, CO

Denver investors look at close-in neighborhoods such as Baker, with hundreds of 19th-century brick houses, and Capitol Hill, the city's most densely populated neighborhood, where apartments and condos stand beside historic mansions. Five Points, on the northeast side of downtown, is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, and Highland sits just northwest of downtown. Farther out, in the far northeast, Montbello's 1960s and 1970s homes are mostly ranch houses, many with brick exteriors and basements.

Good to know

Before you buy in Denver

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Denver and City and County of Denver. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Check whether the house has a lead service line before you set the rehab budget: Denver Water's address map flags the estimated 60,000 to 64,000 homes that may have one. The utility replaces lead lines by work area under its Lead Reduction Program, and it offers partial reimbursement if you replace a line sooner.
  • If the house comes with a tenant, check how long they have lived there. Colorado's for-cause eviction law (HB24-1098) covers most tenants of 12 months or more, and for them a sale or a substantial renovation ends the tenancy only at the end of the lease term, after at least 90 days' written notice.
