1st "Deal" with a Multi. To Quad or Not to Quad
We recently moved to a new state (where properties are quiet expensive compared to TX) and we found a quadplex for sale for $429k. Rents are a bit below market at $955 and we want to owner occupy utilizing the FHA process. I believe rates could be increased around 100/150 per unit and still be quiet competitive. 1 unit is fully remodeled and the owner would like to stay in it. The other three could use the normal fix up.
Here's the run down. (#s came from listing agent so they should be solid as of last year)
Mortgage - $2365
Taxes - $512
Ins. - $200
Trash/all utilities - 475. (Tenant pays their own electric)
Reserves (4%) - 152
Vacancy (2%) $76. (Very low vacancy in city)
At current rental rates
If I'm not mistaken Cash in Cash = 10.87%
Cap Rate = 7%
For an area that's challenging to find, is this worth continuing with? Area is good, and there are def ways to add value to property. Not a HUGE cash flow machine soooooo what are everyone's thoughts???
