9 Unit Portfolio, Is This A Good Deal Or Not?
First time looking to pivot into multi from SFR.
Came across an outfit that said they are off-loading their portfolio, to move into bigger deals. Portfolio is in a small town (45k population) in Ohio (I'm in Texas.) Price was listed as 260k, but after talking for a bit he said I was looking at the old price and the new/revised one is actually 190k, they had bought it back in April for 160K. They are offering owner financing with 10K down. Here is the proforma they gave me

Is this a good deal? What would you do outside of these numbers, to independently determine if this is a good deal? What else should I look for or take into consideration?

@JayCinta Henry You shorted your soft costs out. Vacancy, maintenance, and capex. Banks will underwrite with a 5% vacancy. We can do a bare bones maintenance budget. I don't know what it will cost you to do a turnover so I am going to assume $1000. A 5% vacancy is the equivalent of a turnover every 20 months. How many repairs will be necessary during that 20 months. I plan on 1 every year at $150. So for 20 months lets use $225 for repairs. $1000 turnover cost plus $225 for repairs/20 months= $62.50 per unit or $562.50 per month for the 9 units. You will have to use your numbers to get the repair budget. You also need to do a capex budget that includes roof, floors, hvac, appliances, hot water heater, exterior paint, etc.
Go to your favorite flooring store and ask for the commercial warranty. Most will be 10 years or less. That is your lifespan. My area it is $6 sf to replace, Assume you have 600 sf of flooring per unit. 5400 sf*$6 sf=$32400/120 months lifespan=$270 per month for 1 item in a capex budget.
You will need to verify with a local pm what the vacancy runs in the area. No pm will do a 4% management fee. Better numbers makes better decisions.
