Multifamily 12unit Deal or No Deal
Looking at a small multifamily property in a small town and would like some help in evaluating the numbers for this property.
$800K for 12 units. Taxes are $14k. Insurance $4000 (estimate??). Expense calculated at 10%/unit per month. Proforma says 10% Cap rate. Looking to put 10% down and getting financing for 90% (80% conventional and 10%private/hard). Steady tenant occupancy. Recently remodeled so not much room for upgrades. Rent ave $725. It appears to cash flow at these numbers but feel like I'm missing something. Please give some insight. Thanks.

Before diving into numbers, the "small town" always makes me a bit weary. When you say small town, are there multiple smaller businesses to support the demand for a 12 unit building? If it's one major business/plant that is driving the rental demand I might really dive into that business. I've heard some really tough stories for landlords during COVID trying to backfill units when there was no demand bc the one major business/plant was closed. Just my two cents.
