Multi-Family that doesn't cash flow
I was running numbers on local properties in Denver (yes, the market is pretty hot, especially on loopnet) and there was a duplex in the 500k range. The numbers were roughly $2,500 for rents. Even if you put 20% down, the mortgage would be in the range of $2,300. My question is why would someone buy this? Outside of the $2,300, you have Insurance, tax, cap ex, management if need be, etc. When would this make sense?
