Is this a good deal or bad deal?
Hello BP Members,
My wife and I are looking to get into Rental Property Investing (Multi-Family), and we may have found a property. Let me know if you think this is a good or bad deal?
Property Info:
Single Family, however has a back house that could be used as another unit to rent. So more like a Duplex, but back house needs some work to be converted.
Property still needs work, at least 15k to 20k of repairs.
Comps in the area are low, Range 85k-90k
Market Value- $67,000
Asking Price- $87,500 (Not turnkey but seller still going based off comps)
Offered Price- $66,000
The Seller counter backs with $82,000 and says can't go lower.
I countered one last time with $70,000 and pay closing cost as well, if they don't accept I'm moving on.
Rent for each unit based on comps is between $800-$850, based on the BP Calculator the property will Cash Flow around $532.00
If they accept $70,000 and I have to put in 15k-20k of repairs in property, is this considered a good deal or bad deal even though it would be cash flowing?
I won't go any lower and I am definitely going to keep emotions out of this.
I hope to hear your feedback!
Thanks,
Gregorio Martinez
