Owner financing purchase

[Carlos Taborda]

Folks;

I have a potential great opportunity. I have a very close family member who developed a 6 unit condominium. The idea is that he'd let me purchase the property interest free without any gotchas (He's my father in law!).

So here's a quick and dirty view of the deal. 

- It's very obvious that this is my first step in owning a rental property. 

- Very high quality / new property. He's the builder/architect, and its brand new

- It comes with a tenant paying $3.2k /mo with 10 months on the lease.

- I'd pay 20% down now and the rest during the next 6 years. 

Here's the idea:

Investment	$480,000.00
Down Pay 20%	$96,000.00
Total debt	$384,000.00
Debt pay /6yr	$64,000.00
Debt pay /mo	$5,333.33
Rent /mo	-$3,200.00
Liabilities	$2,133.33

Again, I'm a novice at this. But looking at this deal, I'd have a fully paid property in 6 years, that has a potential of being rented out long term at 3.2k /mo.

I know many variables are in order, such as location, school, etc. Its a A grade property/location/schools in Miami, FL.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try using the Rental Property calculator here on BP! If you enter in all this information along with some estimates (e.g. 10% for vacancies, 5% maintenance, etc.) You will get a MUCH better idea of the cash flow, ROI, COC, and other figures. You can also break down the rent you think you can receive by unit as I am assuming you still have 5 available units. Perhaps live in one and rent the other 5? Good luck!
