Updated about 10 years ago,
Is my analysis too conservative?
I feel like a lot of the deals I look at would cash flow but when I run them through my analysis spreadsheet almost all lose money. I'm fine with being patient but I want to make sure there's not an error in my analysis. Below is a sample property for sale in my area that I would have thought would cash flow, but according to my analysis it would not. Any thoughts or ideas?
My assumptions on my analysis are:
Advertising = $2.50/unit each month
Legal & Accounting: $5/unit each month
Groundskeeping: $80/month average
Water/Sewer: $20/unit per month
Trash: $15/unit each month
Maintenance: $75/unit each month
