Just bought my first rental property. Not sure if it was a good deal or not. Help
hello,
My name is tom. I am 26 years old. I just bought my first duplex in a suburb in Rochester , NY.
I was looking at calculating return on my investment and using 50% rule to determine if I made a good deal. I'm confused and if my math is correct than my return on investment is not adequate enough. Any help we'll be greatly appreciated.
So here's the details
Purchase price 117,000. 3000 in renovations= 120,000
Dp 23,400 (20 %) closing 6600 = $30000 out of pocket
Mortgage including taxes 950 month
Apt 1 rents for $900
Apt 2 rents $1050
My calculation that my income $1950 x .50 = 975 - 950 ( mortgage )= 25.
Now since my taxes are included in the Mortgage change the calculation?
Thanks for help and any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Tom
