Sanity check on my first SF Offer
Hey BP community. I spent the holidays cramming real estate books, including multiple BP published books. I spent the better part of the last 2 weeks analyzing deals, and just made my first offer tonight. I was hoping to get a few eyeballs on it to point out any obvious mistakes I might have made with the analysis, mostly for the learning experience. Details:
- House
- 59,900 asking
- 53,500 offered, seller pays 5k closing costs
- 20% down (10.7), 4k in repairs, so 14.7 cash to close
- Tax assessed at 73k
- Income:
- I know this house rented at 950 previously. I have insight into previous owner, so fairly lucky on that front. It was section 8.
- Expenses: Total $716.11
- mortgage 240
- taxes 75
- insurance 70
- vacancy 40
- repairs 75
- CapEx 141.22
- property management 75 (doing it myself, just future proofing)
My goal was to find a property that provided $200/mo cashflow and at least 10% CoCROI. I'd be happy to provide more details on how I came up with the CapEx numbers, but I was pretty thorough on all the big ticket stuff and what the costs are for this house in my area (father in law is a contractor), so I'm fairly confident in that one.
Any tips for improving this? Warnings? Awards?
Thanks!
