Help evaluating a deal

Lukas Koube

Hello friends,

I'm looking at a 4-plex in the Houston area. it looks like i found one for $300,000 that produces a healthy amount of rent, even after the HOA.

However, the deal looks too good to be true, cash-flowing about 200$ per unit. Is there anything i might be missing? If I paste the deal here, is it safe to discuss it without people maybe taking the deal for themselves? 

Thanks!

Do you have anymore specific numbers? Looks like it could cashflow about $100/m each unit if you put down 20%. Does it have deferred maintenance? How much beyond the 20% down would you need upfront money to fix? 

Using some general numbers this is what I see.

Revenue

Rent - $4425

Expenses - $3983

Management 8% - $354

Insurance - $150

Capex 5% - $221

Taxes - $800

Repairs 5% - $221

Principal & Interest - $1216

Vacancy 5% - $221

HOA - $800
