What am I missing? - Rental property in Raleigh
I found a property that I am interested in purchasing as my first rental property. It's not an amazing deal, but the numbers seem to work. Can someone double check behind me?
ARV: $68,0080
Purchase Price: $40,000
25% Down payment: $10,000
8% interest (could be a little higher or lower) @ 30 years
Estimated Repairs: $3000
Points: 525 (Unsure about this one)
Monthly Income: $680 (based on history, this could be more)
Monthly expenses: $634 (10% vacancy, $120 HOA, $20 Insurance, $61.20 repairs)
I would plan to refinance, and cash out in 12 months..
I'm being very conservative when calculating the expected revenue, and i'm trying to over estimate the expenses just to be on the safe side... What are your thoughts? Should I provide more information?

Who says the ARV is $68,0080? (That's seems way too specific). Don't trust THIS Lender's value!
If the refi percentage on the Lender's appraisal falls below $50,000 (as 70% of $68,080 would be), most Lenders will likely reject your application for a refi anyway.
You can't get immediate conventional lending, at a much lower interest rate - for the same reason?
That price range would seem to be VERY awkward when it comes to borrowing for it. All the best...
