Feedback on Deal Analysis
I have an offer on a multi with two 2 bedroom apartments and 4 rooms. The building is empty due to management issues with the owner and is in fairly decent shape except for one apartment that will need some cosmetic work. My inspector will confirm all of that shortly but I know I'm going to need to do a few things to get a Certificate of Occupancy. So upon closing, the building may remain empty for 1-2 months while I do the repairs and put in a laundry, so these numbers are projected based on my knowledge of the rents in the area:
Annual Rent Two 2 Bedroom Apts $ 18,600
Annual Rent for 4 Rooms 26,260
Projected Laundry Revenues 4,200
Total Rents $ 49,060
Expenses:
- Taxes 4,088
- Water and Sewer 1,600
- Insurance 1,600
- Vacancy & Credit Loss (6%) 2,944
- Repair Reserve (10%) 4,906
- Electric 1,800
- Trash 840
Total Expense 17,778
Net income 31,282
Purchase Price 134,250
Cap Rate 23.30%
Cash on Cash Return After Mortgage 91.17%
I'm always cautious in thinking something is a slam dunk and there will be some challenges managing the rooms, but there are only 4 of them. Is this as good of a deal as I think it is?
