First Purchase Advice
Hi All, I'm new to the site and new to real estate investing....
I'm currently in contract for my first investment property and it's a multifamily home. Just had my home inspection and we found out that the owner was paying for the water/sewer/hot water for both units. Also, several issues came up with insect damage and a sagging main beam and appliances that are end of life. After doing a bit more research the property doesn't have the positive cash flow I thought it would, only about 50 a month after figuring in the utilities and possible repair costs...
Should i walk away? Should I negotiate the price? How complex is it to have another water meter installed? Any feedback or comments are welcome...
