Investigating in the Puget Sound area in 2018
Newbie here. I purchased a 3-plex. It's in Tacoma WA, Central area, near downtown. Anyway I'm concerned that I purchased near the top of the market and I'm wondering if it was a mistake? I've learned a bit since I purchased but my knowledge was pretty limited at the time. I wanted something pretty bad. I've done the math. Please let me know if I have this right. Assuming current market rent is $1 per sq ft. Give or take. Utilities are reimbursed. I'm exaggerating monthly maintenance expenses. Thanks in advance.
