Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Denver attracts investors with its robust job growth in tech and energy, low vacancy rates under 4%, and consistent 5-8% appreciation in a balanced Colorado housing market—paired with family-friendly suburbs like Highlands Ranch and flexible Littleton options, it delivers reliable cash flow and equity for long-term portfolios.

Core Investor Draws

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, I point to population influx from California and Texas fueling demand—rents average $2,800 on single-family homes, hitting 1% rule easily. Low inventory keeps values climbing through market cycles; diverse economy buffers recessions better than coastal volatility. Tax perks like depreciation and 1031s compound returns; leverage shines with fixed rates. Urban cores offer high yields, suburbs stability—investors blend both for 8-12% total returns. Proximity to mountains adds lifestyle rental appeal without mountain risks.

Local jobs dictate rent floors.

Denver-Specific Investor Edges

Highlands Ranch real estate pulls steady investors near Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge schools, where HOAs ($300-$500/month) maintain premiums amid Douglas County family migrations—8% appreciation endures balanced cycles with $2,900 rents on $700K homes. Littleton shines for value in LPS zones, $550K bungalows flexing basement ADUs sans heavy covenants for 9% yields and quick tenancies. Core Denver’s LoHi and RiNo explode with tech breweries, $3,100 rents offsetting parking via 10% growth. Winters hold occupancy firm; springs surge comps. Compared to Littleton adaptability, Highlands Ranch trades fees for school-anchored reliability.

Block comps reveal hidden gems.
