8 unit property - Would this be a good deal?
What do you think? Good deal or a pass?
The numbers:
Seller wants $2 million dollars.
6 units are 1 bedroom and 1 bath and rents are under market by around $500 to $600 each.
There are 2 : 2 bedroom and 1 bath units: One rented out and the other will be vacant at close of escrow.
Total rents for : 6 1 beds and 1 2 bed: $10,100
And the vacant unit would rent out for $2k
As is with out doing anything to the property, total rents would be $12,100.
(Currently, assuming a 30% overhead : or
$12,100 x 12 months: gross rents annually- $145,200 minus 30% (operating) : $101,640 net income.
At $2 million : that would be a 5% CAP rate (my commercial co-worker says that most are selling at a 3% or 4% CAP right now).
Over time, what would be the value if you increased rents to market rents:
Conservative numbers: 1 bedroom : $1800 (can go to $1950) x 6 units : $10,800
2 bedroom: $2k (could go to $2300 / $2500 ) x 2 units : $4k
Total pro-forma (estimate new rents): $14,800 (times 12 months: $177,600 minus 30% :
$124,320 (NET)
Future value :
@ 4% CAP : $3.108 million
@ 3% CAP: $4.144 million
Does buying this property at $2 million make sense?
(I usually do residential deals between 1 and 4 units, so looking to see if you think I am missing any info?)
30% Operating expenses seems generous to me, as most commercial agents have told me that these could be brought down to about 27% of gross rents.
Units will need about $25k to $30k each (8 units ) so that would be about $240k
Plumbing has been replaced to copper in the last 10 years.
Roof is also about 10 to 15 years old.
AC : building has wall units. (I am getting more info about rents, leases, and expenses).
Thanks for reading
