Would you buy this place?
I'm looking at a place in Chicago in an up and coming neighborhood, it's a 2 flat with 2 1 bed 1 bath units. The building is actually a fully rehabbed coach house (5 years ago), the original main living structure was removed. Anyways, the first floor is a large studio currently getting 1450 a month and the second unit is currently owner occupied but could rent for about 1850 in the current market. The whole place was redone 5 years ago, and is in very good shape, so I shouldn't have to make any big repairs (fingers crossed) to structure, appliances, etc. Numbers are as follows:
Price: 469,000 (offered 440,000)
Taxes: 5500
Units: 2
Unit 1: 1450
Unit 2: 1850
Revenue: 39,600
Operating Expenses: 29,270
Take Home: 10,320
Cap Rate: 2.35% (seems low)
ROI: 9% (seems good)
