Central / medical district (mid-term)

Areas near downtown and the medical complexes support mid-term furnished rentals for travel nurses, corporate relocations, and aerospace contractors - a strategy that bypasses Denver's short-term-rental ban and often beats long-term leases.

Furnished mid-term rentals need active management, and the STR ban limits nightly-rate strategies; verify rules. Underwrite furnishing costs and turnover. Denver has cooled to a more balanced market with rising inventory - underwrite for modest appreciation, and note the city's primary-residence requirement for short-term rentals.

Cash-flow buyers who want a 30-day-plus furnished-rental strategy tapping aerospace-and-medical demand.
