[CALC] $80k on $1.3M cash deal for 4 family Jersey city
In my local area (Jersey City, NJ), 5% caps have been the norm.
I'm eyeing a 6% cap paying full cash. Historically, I would finance as much as possible, but obviously 6% cap in an 8% borrowing environment is nonsensical.
$1.3M purchase price
$9100 gross rent
- taxes $17K
- water $2500
- insurance $3000
- 2% historical vacancy
- $6000/yr repair/capex
- In this area, tenants pay for broker fees.
- NYC views, rents are slightly under market. Each unit is very large for the area.
- I currently manage my own property (mostly passive - snow, drain clogs)
Unit B. - $1000 (1bed/1bath) Possibly $1500 after $10k reno
Unit 1 - $3000 (4bed/2bath,1500sqft) Possibly $3500 after $30k reno
Unit 2 - $2800 (4 bed 2bath,1500sqft) Possibly $3500 after $30k reno
Unit 3 - $2100 (3 bed 1 bath,1200sqft) Possibly $2500 after $20k reno
$150 parking + some coin laundry revenue
-------
Net $80k/yr with decent upside post renovation.
6% cap as-is
7% cap upside.
Curious what you guys think. This is my 2nd multifamily near NYC/NJ. I have owned the first one since 2016 and it has been relatively stress free and passive income.

Everything looks good, but I would be nervous underwriting 2% vacancy. Does this consider turn/make ready time? It doesn't leave any margin.
