Deal Analysis: Commercial Office Building in Colorado Springs

My clients had recently liquidated some properties and were looking for a place to put their capital. We originally looked for multi family properties, but with the inventory so low, good deals were hard to find. An opportunity for an off-market office building came up, and my clients decided to expand their horizons and move into the commercial world.

Deal Analysis: Eight Unit Multi Family in Colorado Springs

Our client came to us from out of state. He invests in the west coast but has been wanting to start investing in Colorado, either in Denver or Colorado Springs. Preston and I helped find him a great deal on an eight unit multi family apartment building in north Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs Real Estate Trends – April 2021

We are seeing some historic stats in the Colorado Springs market. Currently, the average time on the market for a home is 9 days, down from 20 days at this time last year. Inventory is up about 100 units from March, to around 450 active listings. While this is good news, there were 1275 active listings in April of 2020. The market is tight right now, but we’re still making deals and getting our clients under contract.

In our first Wednesday live show series, Preston and Jenny joined us to give market updates for Denver and Colorado Springs and walk us through 2 recent deals. Both markets have record low active listings and investors are putting in multiple offers before going under contract. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t finding good deals for our clients!

We did 2 deal analyses for properties in Colorado Springs: an 8 unit multifamily apartment building and a commercial office building. Both of these are great properties that are poised to bring solid returns for our investors.
