Does this thought process for analyzing a property make sense?

House listed at $365k: 1 bed 1 ba, 871sq ft

  • I estimate rent at $2,000
  • 260$ monthly HOA fee, passed onto renter?
  • 3% buyer agency fee, important? Just added to price of the house pretty much?
  • 1% rule: ideally house would be rented for $3,650/month. Not near true. Rule less applicable in such a hot market?
  • Given the 50% rule that half of the rent will be spent on fees:
  • Say I put down 100k, leaving a 265k mortgage, 30 year mortgage which would bring the monthly payment to $1,253 at a 3.92% interest rate
  • $2,000 (rent) - $1,000 (50% rule) - $1253 (mortgage) = -$253 in monthly cash flow
  • Takeaway: not a good investment
  • COCR and ROE not applicable given negative cash flow
