@Doug Caminita, a lot more work to do, but this may have legs.
A few things to start:
- Your Vacancy Loss might be a touch high. I use 8%, but this is very localized.
- What about repairs? I'd use 5%.
- Can you do better than 7% on your loan. That's high, even for 30 year.
- Where are you getting the $63K debt service number? I get ~$48k/year, assuming 20% down.
- What about utilities? It sounds like there is one furnace for heat and HW, so you're paying those costs. There must be some house electric for hallway lights or similar.
- Lawn care and snow removal? Will this be handled by the PM?
WITH STILL A LOT OF HOLES IN YOUR NUMBERS: I see the NOI ~$66k. That works out to a Cap Rate of 8.8%, which seems pretty solid for a B+ property. So this is ~$18k/year cash flow. If you can get a loan closer to 5%, you can get ~$27k. That's a 16% CoC ROI on your down payment and initial repairs.
What are the opportunities to push rents or drive down expenses? I'd look into using the $36k you have earmarked for a new furnace to split out the utilities.
Once you take into account the missing utilities expenses, your cap rate will go down. That can actually be a plus, if you get the tenants paying for utilities, that's even more value you're adding with the improved NOI.
