The Denver housing market April 2026 update shows a familiar story. Prices have been flat for three straight years. Rents have softened back to levels not seen since late 2021. So where does that actually leave Colorado investors right now? Chris Lopez brings the full panel together for this monthly update. Jenny Bayless covers the Colorado Springs market as both a broker and active investor. Jeff White of Envision Advisors tracks Denver’s small multifamily market closely. Brandon Scholten manages over 1,000 units at Keyrenter Denver and owns rentals himself. Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans rounds out the group with a lender’s perspective across Colorado. The panel works through the DMAR April report together. Denver’s median closed price sits at $605,000 this month, essentially unchanged from $604,000 in April 2025 and $602,000 in April 2024. In inflation-adjusted terms the market is down. Detached single family is holding, up about 1% year over year. The average condo price is down nearly 5% year over year. In the Springs, the median sits at $480,000 with sales up 8.5% month over month and month supply at 3. Rentals get a close look too. Concessions are up. Rents have pulled back to near Q4 2021 levels. The panel then turns to co-living and room-by-room rentals. Operators who bought into the model three to four years ago are now trying to exit. Co-living property managers typically last 6 to 12 months. PadSplit requires roughly a $30,000 retrofit, furnished rooms and ongoing maintenance responsibility — and the exit problem may be just as significant as the operational one. In This Episode We Cover: Why the Denver housing market’s April 2026 data shows prices flat for a third straight year How rents have pulled back to late 2021 levels and what landlords are doing about it Why co-living operators are looking for the exit and what the PadSplit model actually costs Governor Polis’s push to cut Colorado’s average $4,200 homeowner’s insurance premium by $800 What 22,000 YourCastle transactions revealed about the NAR commission settlement Jenny’s decision to sell and pay down debt, and Jeff’s 10th house hack in West Denver If you invest in Colorado real estate or are watching the Denver housing market in April 2026, this episode covers the data and decisions that matter right now.

AI is transforming more than just marketing; it's reshaping how manufacturers hire, train, and build their future workforce. In this episode, Friddy Hoegener, President of SCOPE Recruiting, joins Jeff White and Carman Pirie to explore how AI is impacting recruiting, from automating interview notes to flooding applicant pools with polished, AI-generated resumes. The conversation dives into a critical emerging challenge: the erosion of entry-level roles that traditionally help develop future leaders. As AI takes over repetitive tasks, companies risk losing their talent pipeline unless they rethink how early-career roles are structured. Friddy shares insights on how forward-thinking organizations are adapting by creating AI-augmented roles that emphasize strategy, cross-functional thinking, and innovation. They also discuss the growing importance of soft skills, the pitfalls of over-automating hiring processes, and why smaller, more agile manufacturers may have a unique advantage in attracting talent in this new landscape.

From generational shifts in buying behaviour to the rise of AI-driven and agentic commerce, Meghan explains why traditional assumptions about B2B buyers no longer hold. She explores how personalization, content, and customer journeys have become more complex and more critical than ever. The conversation also delves into the growing influence of Amazon Business, the importance of balancing e-commerce with distributor relationships, and how marketers can position their brands to win in an increasingly automated, competitive landscape. If you're a manufacturing marketer navigating digital transformation, this episode offers practical insights and a forward-looking perspective on where B2B commerce is headed.

Small multifamily deals in Colorado are producing cash-on-cash returns worth paying attention to in 2026. Three real deals just went under contract or closed along the Front Range. In this episode, Chris Lopez sits down with real estate agent Jeff White and lender Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans. Together, they walk through three actual deals. Those are a Loveland fourplex at $685K, an Aurora triplex at $579K, and a Pueblo duplex at $300K. These are not hypotheticals. One is already under contract. Another closed just weeks ago. The numbers are real. The Deals Jeff walks through both the house hacker and investor scenarios on each property. For the Loveland fourplex, a house hacker with 5% down pays $458 per month in year one. Then, in year two, that same property cash flows over $1,076 per month. That works out to a 23.80% cash-on-cash return. For investors at 25% down, the fourplex delivers 6.50% cash-on-cash in year one. That is roughly three times the Denver metro average. Beyond that, Section 8 rates in Larimer County hit $1,732 per month for a two-bedroom. As a result, the numbers look very different from what most people expect. The Pueblo duplex, meanwhile, introduces a different tool: DSCR loans. Troy explains how one investor used a cash-out DSCR on a free-and-clear property. As a result, she funded the down payment and reserves on the new purchase. In addition, the property appraised at $310K on a $300K purchase and came with a $10K seller credit. It also stabilized at a 7.72% cap rate with a 6.875% 30-year fixed rate. The Portfolio Play The episode also covers the strategy behind the Loveland fourplex. Specifically, an investor bought nine fourplexes for $5.2 million and has since been selling them individually. Chris, Jeff, and Troy break down the margin and the mechanics. In short, finding the right motivated portfolio seller remains one of the most underrated plays in Colorado real estate.

Something shifted in January — and this January 2026 Denver real estate market update breaks down exactly what’s happening. Rents are resetting to 2018 levels. A third of all available apartments were built in the last decade. Colorado now ranks 5th nationally for outbound moves. 55% are leaving the state — the highest since 1990. Landlords across the Front Range are holding rents flat or cutting them just to keep units filled. But here’s what most people are missing — this same pressure is creating buying opportunities that haven’t existed in over a decade. Chris Lopez sits down with his monthly market panel. Troy Howell with Nova Home Loans, Jeff White with Envision Advisors, Jenny Bayless covering Colorado Springs, and Shawn Riley from KeyRenter Denver all join the conversation. The group digs into the numbers. They share what they’re seeing firsthand from their own portfolios, clients, and deal flow. Things get real when Chris reveals a fourplex across the street from his own just sold at his 2018 purchase price. That confirms what the data has been showing about multifamily. Then the panel unpacks a $30 million foreclosure on four central Denver apartment buildings. Zero bidders showed up at auction. Colorado residential land now averages $942,200 per acre — up 174% in a decade. That’s why starter homes have disappeared entirely. And Shawn Riley shares that rents on condos and townhomes are down 7-10%. Apartments are offering up to three months free rent, making it brutal for older inventory to compete. In This Episode We Cover: Colorado Springs hits 4.5 months supply — officially tipping into a buyer’s market while prices hold mostly steady Why Denver inventory is building 7-8% year over year and new construction spec homes still aren’t moving even with builder-subsidized 4% rates The rental market resetting to 2018 levels and why landlords are holding rents flat to avoid costly turnover Section 8 developments including Denver paying 120% of fair market rents but freezing new voucher issuance and rent increases Room by room rental demand softening — what co-living operators need to know heading into spring Why the panel says this is Colorado’s first real buyer’s market in a decade and the 1031 exchange strategy to capitalize on it The new Fed chair nomination and what rate improvements of 0.50-0.75% from last year mean for refinance opportunities If you’ve been waiting for a 2026 Denver real estate market update that actually tells you where the deals are, this is it. Whether you’re sitting on single family properties eyeing a move into multifamily, a landlord figuring out the right rent price, or an investor ready to pick up distressed deals at steep discounts, the panel breaks down exactly where things stand right now.

The Denver December 2025 market update reveals a shifting landscape for real estate investors. Inventory ended the year at 7,600 active units – up 10% from December 2024 but down sharply from November’s 10,500 units as sellers pulled listings heading into the holidays. The bigger story? Attached properties (condos and townhomes) surged 20% year-over-year while detached homes stayed relatively flat, signaling where market pressure is building. Then the new year arrived and everything accelerated. Chris Lopez hosts Troy Howell from Nova Home Loans and Jeff White from Envision Advisors to cover Denver’s December 2025 market update. The panel covers Denver metro year-end trends, interest rate movements, and what just happened in the first week of the new year. Over 20 small multifamily properties hit the market in just the first 8 days of January – an unusual flood of inventory during the worst season to sell. Troy reveals interest rates dropped nearly a full percentage point year-over-year (from 7.04% in January 2025 to 6.16% in January 2026) with predictions for continued decline, while data shows 6%+ mortgages now outnumber sub-3% loans nationwide, signaling the lock-in effect may finally be breaking. The panel digs into what December’s inventory patterns mean for 2026 buying opportunities, examining why motivated sellers are listing in winter and how this creates negotiation leverage. Jeff conducts live underwriting of a $750K 4-plex near South Broadway that dropped $139K in price, walking through actual spreadsheet analysis comparing house hacking (5% down, 9.39% cash-on-cash return) versus traditional investing (25% down, 5.75% return). Both strategies dramatically outperform the 1-2% market average most investors are seeing, proving cash flow still exists in Denver’s current market conditions. Watch the Youtube Video https://youtu.be/zKNDot-SdjE In This Episode We Cover: December 2025 inventory recap: 7,600 units (up 10% YoY from Dec 2024), why attached properties jumped 20% while detached stayed flat Why 20+ small multifamily listings flooded Denver in January 2026’s first 8 days during the worst selling season Interest rate trends: Down from 7.04% (Jan 2025) to 6.16% (Jan 2026), with VA loans reaching low 5% range How the lock-in effect is ending as 6%+ mortgages now exceed sub-3% mortgages nationwide Live underwriting showing $750K 4-plex delivering 9.39% returns for house hackers vs 5.75% for investors Colorado Springs new construction duplex deal with 100% VA financing and 12-month occupancy flexibility Why properties are selling at 2018-2019 price levels and what this means for long-term investors December’s data confirms inventory is building but hasn’t reached problematic levels – we’re still well below the 15,000-30,000 units seen during the 2008-2012 period. The seasonality cliff from 14,000 summer units down to 7,600 by year-end is normal, but what’s not normal is the January 2026 surge of motivated sellers listing during peak winter. Troy explains how current rates make deals pencil again after years of struggle, while Jeff’s spreadsheet analysis proves the math works for both house hackers and traditional investors.

House hacking in Colorado just paid off for 30-year-old Carly Caprio. She’s living for free in a Lakewood fourplex after completing her fourth house hack in 2025. Even better? When she moves out next year, this property will generate over $2,500 in monthly profit while she continues building her portfolio toward early retirement. Chris Lopez sits down with Carly Caprio, one of the most disciplined house hackers in Colorado, alongside regular panelists Jeff White (Envision Advisors) and Troy Howell (Nova Home Loans). Carly’s journey started with a $17,500 first-time buyer grant that made her first townhouse purchase possible despite working a nonprofit job. Since then, she’s converted properties from 3 to 5 bedrooms and 5 to 6 bedrooms, navigated challenging tenants including paranoid relapses and 3am emergency calls, pivoted to Section 8 when needed, and most recently locked up an all-brick Lakewood fourplex for $849,500 with just 5% down. What makes Carly’s story particularly compelling is her rock-solid financial discipline. Troy Howell confirms she’s increased her savings dramatically between properties while maintaining zero car payments and living below her means. The result? She’s already matched her W2 income through rental cash flow and qualified for progressively larger properties without any salary increases. Her fourplex currently rents three units at $1,750 each while she lives for essentially free in the fourth unit. Once she moves out, the projected income jumps to $7,780 monthly against a $5,454 mortgage payment. Jeff White calls Carly his “Mount Rushmore” house hacker for good reason. She didn’t chase trendy strategies or overextend herself. Instead, she executed the same proven playbook four times, learning from each property and improving her systems. When faced with disastrous tenants (one who stood in doorways watching people sleep, another who drank two bottles of tequila and one bottle of vodka within 48 hours), she adapted her screening process and converted to Section 8 rather than quitting. When friends expressed fear about living with strangers, she demonstrated how to maintain control over tenant selection while building serious wealth. In This Episode We Cover: $17,500 first-time buyer grant that launched Carly’s 4-property portfolio Why 2-4 unit properties are easier to qualify for than single-family homes How debt-to-income improves with each house hack (no salary increase needed) Converting 3-bed townhouse to 5-bed using existing egress windows Managing terrible tenants and when to pivot from rent-by-room to Section 8 $849,500 Lakewood fourplex breakdown: 5% down, 6% rate, $1,750/unit rents Living free now vs $2,500 monthly profit when she moves out Financial discipline tactics that matched her W2 income in three years Why the first property is hardest and subsequent deals get easier Female investor perspectives on safety and building wealth through house hacking And So Much More! Carly’s story proves house hacking in Colorado isn’t dead despite 6% interest rates and higher property prices in 2025. With the right financing strategy, disciplined savings habits, and willingness to sacrifice short-term comfort for long-term wealth, reaching financial freedom in your 30s remains achievable. Whether you’re a woman considering your first house hack or an experienced investor looking for inspiration, Carly’s methodical approach and honest discussion of challenges offers a realistic roadmap.
