Newbie "ready" to buy duplex
I'm wanting to buy a duplex for the long term. Cash flow is everything for me and I have $150k saved. I have found a duplex in Sacramento (where I live) that is about $425k with tenants in place and it brings in about $2285/mo. The realtor has given me rough numbers; with $100k down and current rates, my mortgage will be about $2070.
What I'm having a hard time with is justifying $100k investment that will bring me $200/mo. That doesn't account for repairs, vacancy, etc.
Thanks,
Byron
