Too Good to be True??? Seven Trailers and One House
Whats up everyone! First post here on BP, but I've been lurking around the forums and listening to the podcast for a while now.
I'm still looking for my first deal, and I came across a property that I find VERY interesting. Almost too good to be true. So, I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
Property Facts:
Asking price $165,000 (Initial offer would be ~$130,000
1 House - 1600sqft - no rental history - in good shape but wallpaper everything
7 Single Wide trailers - 6 of them are currently being rented at $485/month
3 additional lots for single wide trailers
I have no idea what the condition of the trailers is yet, working on getting a walk through of the property. Based on craigslist and zillow comps, the house should be able to rent for $800-$1000/month. Trailers in this area typically rent for $400-$600/month.
So, when you run the numbers for full occupancy you get roughly:
$800 + $485x5 + $450x2 = $4125/month
mortgage + expenses somewhere around $1500/month
This deal seems like a no brainer with current renters and rental history. Could easily add 3 more trailers on the open lots for another $1500/month for a total income of $5625 and only add another $400/month to the mortgage.
Am I missing something???
