What numbers do you need when looking at buying a house?

Chris C
Posted

I am new to this and wanting to buy my first rental house, there is a foreclosed house close to me that is in a great location within walking distance to most places, similar houses rent for 750-800 a month the house i looked at is 60,000 i looked at the last time this house sold which was in 2006 for 131,300 its a 3bd 1 ba with a .35 acre lot (which is big for being right in town) i figured that i wont need to put more then 15,000 into it, So does this sound like a good deal? What other numbers do i need to look at? What type of offer would you put in on it? thanks
