Washington state rental property investment

Shruti Patankar
Posted

I am just starting to look for rental investment properties (condo/town-home/apartments < 300K) in Seattle suburbs of Washington state. Any areas that I look for, nothing is cash flowing. I am considering following amounts as operating expenses for the property:

1. Mortgage (4% interest rate)

2. HOA

3. insurance 

4. taxes 

5. vacancy rate of 1 month per year

6. CapEx {5000$ per 7 years for paint and replacing cabinets}

7. Repairs (5%)

8. Prop management fees (10%)

Any suggestions with respect to numbers that I am using above (do they look right or are they too conservative)? 

Can anyone suggest any areas/locations with properties that cashflow? Just want to take an example from Redfin, run numbers and see if it cashflows.
