Investor Overview

What Vladimir Looks For in Denver

Denver proper rewards investors who do micro-location work. Cap rates are generally thin, but appreciation runway and tenant depth in most neighborhoods are unmatched in the metro.

Value-add multifamily and small apartment opportunities in Five Points and Cole. Capitol Hill is more mature with condo and small unit plays. Globeville and Elyria-Swansea have redevelopment pressure from I-70 expansion.

Southwest Denver

Best cash-flow opportunity inside Denver proper. Entry prices are lower but so are rent ceilings — underwrite to current rents, not renovated comps. Strong tenant demand from the Blue Collar corridor to the south and transit access.
