Help me analyze this duplex
All,
As I embark on my journey to learn about REI, I was wondering if you guys can help me analyze some numbers. I am NOT planning to go forward with any deal right now but want to analyze as many as possible to learn. How would this deal be for a Buy and Hold?
The property is listed
LP: $219,000
- Rental Value: $2,000/month (Seller claims $1,000 from unit 1 and $1,195 from unit too, but I am beign conservative)
- Tax: $375/month [$4500/12; ($4,076 estimate according to dallas county, ), I am rounding up)
- Insurance: $170 (Going with Seller's numbers for now)
- Principal+ Interest: $900 (Based on 4.5%, 30 yr and 20% down)
- Warranty: $50/month
- Vacancy: $160 (Assumed at 8%)
- Misc: $100
Cash Flow: $2,000 - $1,755 = $245
If the total investment is $46,000 (20% down + some closing costs), then Net Return is 5.3%?
Assumptions:
- Sellers numbers are accurate (I know a lot of due diligence would be required if I was actually jumping into the deal)
- No significant fixing/renovation is needed
Will appreciate any feedback!
