Might've found FIRST INVESTMENT (comparing two opportunities)

[Derek Okahashi]

Any comments, critiques, or recommendations welcome.

Despite not being active on BP for a bit, I have been hustling working two jobs (+ kids, military reserve, a demanding job of my own, and school) to save capital and continuing to read and listen to education. All that said, I may have my first deal.

It is a 2/1 SFH in Augusta, GA. 50kish but haven.t landed on a number. 1950 build. Bought on auction, rehabbed, and rented out since 2014. Seller is consolidating to clear some debt. Will need a new roof in 5 years or so (est. 3k). Should perform at $650/mo pretty easily and might be able to stretch a little more. Weird set up but I guess not all that uncommon in that area for older homes. Washing machine in the kitchen area and dryer out back. Prob a class C area.

My parents live South of Nashville where I can get a new construction 2/2.5 town home for 187k and get $1400 in rent in a class B+ area. Brand new product, less worries, higher caliber tenant, can have my parents be a point of contact (manage it), no yard to deal with, way more appreciation potential...........but smaller cap rate less cash flow. It wouldn't even meet the 1% rule.

Thanks for any comment.
