Newbie Commercial Questions / Advice
Hey BP commercial community! Novice investor here- Currently own home, 2 investment properties, have done some flips in the past. I've got a wholesaler that occasionally sends opportunities my way- and he recently sent me a commercial property that caught my eye. The details of his email are below:
3000 Sq Ft Commercial, 175K Purchase Price with Owner Financing, No Origination Fee's or PrepayBuyer Pays All Closing Cost40K Down8.99% 30yr Term 10 year Balloon
I followed up by confirming they were carrying the note and asking how the place is laid out. Replied:
It's being sold as is and need some work. it's one storefront now and a second storefront that runs into the garage but it could be separated with a wall. Then it would be two storefronts and a garage. It's best if you walk through if you have some interest. I'll carry the note and I'll cut you a deal if you're interested.
I ran numbers, best I know how, and the market value at the local cap rate seems like it should be north of $350k.
Rental income | 3000 ($1 - $1.25/sf per local property management, NNN) |
Tax | 55 (Tax records) |
Insurance | 80 (Estimate) |
Vacancy | 300 (10%) |
Prop Mgt | 300 (10%) |
NOI | 2265 |
Local CAP | 7% |
Value | 388285.7 |
Am I missing any key components to my calculations? Of course, I would need to know how much it would take to get it to marketable condition. What other information should I be asking about? What should I be cautious about? With the price being half of what it could be, is that too good to be true or is this normal for a non-performing commercial asset?
Thank you for any input!
