First Time Investment - Help!!!
Hello Everyone!
I'm new to real estate investing, but have read my fair share of books and Bigger Pockets forums to prime myself for what's to come down the road.
I've been searching through this sellers-market for a few months now, and I think I've finally found a multifamily worth investing into. It's a 5-unit all-brick apartment, built in the late 1980's, with recent interior updates. However, since this will be my first real estate investment, I'd like to see if anybody disagreed with my numbers or ROI. Any input is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Note: I flipped the home I currently live in, and plan to use a HELOC for my 20% down payment. Therefore, I will have to pay for 100% of the house each month, rather than 80%.
Listing Price: $239,000
