I'm a pilot (as a hobby - Civil Engineer by day) and the only thing I seem to hear these days is how there are not enough hangars in the Denver Metro area. At Rocky Mountain Metro (KBJC) there is a wait list of 7+ years to get a hangar and this seems to be the case across the country. It seems like a no brainer that a hangar development would be a cash cow. Obviously there are some large hurdles that come with development on an airport (State/Federally owned land, land leases, NIMBYs, etc...) but I would love to hear if anyone has been involved with or is interested in digging a little deeper into this perceived opportunity.  

@Peter Jakel I'm interested in the smaller developments right now in the 1-5 acre range. Interested in duplex and small apartments. 

Hi all - looking to discuss ground up development with anyone who has completed developments or is interested in developing in Denver and the surrounding areas. I'm a civil engineer in the land development and entitlements space and am looking to leverage my knowledge to get some of my own development going.

Looking forward to connecting!

I'm looking to broaden my knowledge of all things self storage. I am interested in connecting with those that own and/or develop self storage properties to get an idea of steps involved and barriers to entry as well as what the current market outlook for CO is. Look forward to chatting!

Does anyone have any insight into self storage in Pueblo? I'm a big fan of using self storage as a land bank. A quick google search returns about 16 self storage sites around pueblo. 

@Roger Kelley I purposely left it vague as I'd like to discuss development at a 30,000' level - but to answer your question - yes, costs, hot areas, personal experience with different jurisdictions and ultimately whether you made any money!

@Craig Curelop - I have sent Michele a connection. Thanks!

Hello all - I recently moved to Denver from Austin and am looking for small developers of duplex's or 2-5 unit condos/apartments. I have significant experience on the entitlement and engineering side of development and am looking to get my feet wet with my own development. I am looking to meet up with others that have developed in and around the Denver and Co. Springs area and just talk turkey. I understand Denver is a pretty tough market and as such, will be reviewing opportunities adjacent and surrounding Denver. 

Looking forward to hearing from you! 

I was hoping I could get some help on some assumptions I am building into my rental property spreadsheet.

For financing I have the following:

Financing Fees - Trying to figure out what is a good assumption for this. X% of the total loan amount?

Estimated Closing Cost & Fees - 3% of loan amount + 1% of Total Price of purchase?

Inspection/Appraisal Fees - This I understand can vary based on the property type/etc...Does anyone use a % of price paid for this?

Seller $ Toward Closing - This can be negotiated but does anyone use a set % of price paid?

Mortgage Insurance - Rough % estimates?

Thanks for the help! I'll probably post my spreadsheet with your suggestions and see if anyone has any comments.
