Potential first deal

Jonah Slove
Posted

Hi all,

Curious people's thoughts in this deal. I am OOS looking to invest in an area like Detroit and start with a SFH. This is ready to rent and I have spoke with PM and rent is realistic. Not quite a BRRRR as more of a long term play I think given im not really forcing any equity, but cash flow positive and high ROI..I got my pre-approval letter and ready to get started.

    Quote from @Scott E.:

    Numbers look good, but there is much more to a deal than just the numbers. A couple other things to consider...

    -How old is the property?

    -What is the age of the big ticket items? (roof, HVAC, elec panel, sewer pipe)

    -Is this an A, B, C, or D neighborhood?

    These factors will help you understand what your cap ex expenses will be, and what your appreciation rate might be.


     Thanks for the reply. Ya totally, I have some additional info but as I am OOT I will be relying on Realtor and others to help identify other issues;

    Built in 1953

    Newer roof, not sure about the others

    C+/B-
