Newbie Faulty Analysis, Please Help!
Hello guys!
I am quite new to real estate investing with nothing but my primary residence under my belt, so I need some insight as to what I may be doing incorrectly. I am looking at this duplex in Arlington Tx, and hoping to make an offer soon. I have run my numbers, but feel as though I may be overestimating/underestimating hence the negative cash flow. Can you please review my analysis, and suggest what I may be doing incorrectly? What will be a good offer for this property for a cash flow of at least $5000 per annum.
Thanks.
Asking price = 249,000
Total Annual income = 29400
Estimated Taxes = 5496
Estimated Insurance = 2340
Capex = 7% (2058)
Repairs = 7% (2058)
Vacancy = 7% (2058)
Property Mgt = 10% (2940)
25% down payment (62250)
Annual P & I = 1064 x 12 = 12768
29400 - [ 5496 + 2340 + 2058 + 2058 + 2058 + 2940 + 12768 ]
= 29400 - 29718
Cash flow = - 318
All suggestions and corrections welcome! Thanks!
