Would You Buy This Place?
Hey Guys,
First time on the forum and I just wanted to see if you think this would be a good buy for a long term investment.
Looking at a property in Grover Beach, California.
Its 600sq ft with a garage. Built in 1950.
1br, living room, dining area, kitchen, 1 br.
7,500 sq ft lot zoned r3.
Inside has been taken care of and looks nice.
$8k in termite damage.
Price is $360k.
Long term tenant (20 years) section 8 - pays all utilities. rent paying is $850
I checked with section 8 and the most they will cover for this place is about $1200/m +-
But every scenario i run (cash & loan) this place doesn't really make as a good investment. The property is valuable especially since it's zoned R3 and right near the beach but even if this place was paid in cash, i project after all expenses i would make about $600/month.
Is this something you would pursue?
