Running the numbers for a property
I am trying to run some numbers on different properties and I don't know if I am running these numbers correctly. For example this particular house costs 59900 and rents for 1000 in Cleveland, which is 1.6% of the purchase price, yet it barely cash flows. Am I calculating something wrong?
tax 2367.5
ins 1200
lawn 504
property management 10% 1000
repairs and maint 10% 1000
capex 5% 500
vacancies 5% 500
sewer water garbage 1300
principal and interest 2892
TOTAL = 11163.5
If the property management group takes 1st month rent then for the year the house will make 11k which makes this even cash flow negative. Is something wrong with my calculations?
