@Erica Hatfield its negative with the 50% rule and not in your analysis because your expenses are way too low. Nearly all of them.
Have you gotten a 4% interest loan quote with 0 points on a commercial property over 30 years? That seems low. I would have guessed 6% minimum.
$2500 closing costs on a $1,000,000 transaction? Probably closer to $10,000 or more.
Vacancy should be 5% - 8%, capex and maintenance should be $100/unit per mo. At a minimum, maybe as much as $200/unit.
I Would try to get the previous owners schedule e to see what their real expenses were.
