Multi-Unit Noob-Need Advice on first MF-24 Unit Please
I've been presented with an off-market deal for a 24 unit complex, but I'm not sure if the numbers look good or can be better since I've really only done SFH investing prior to this. I've run the numbers through the calculators on BP, but want to know if I'm missing something. Also, I don't really have a concept for how much renovations/upgrades for something this large might look. Here are the numbers I have from the seller:
22 2 BR, 2 1 BR with 2 vacant needing rehab
2 BR are at $495/m and 1 BR at 445/m currently
100% occupancy would be $11,780/m or $141,360/yr
Expenses:
Garbage - $1356.80/m - $16,281.60/yr
Water - $2800/m - $33,600/yr (I would most likely stop paying this and pass to tenants if bought)
Taxes - $10,700/yr
Ins - $8660.64/yr
Vacancy 10% - $14,136/yr
Prop Mgmt 7% - $9895.20/yr
Net Cap is 5% at a higher asking price of about a million; I am told I can get it for closer to $700k prior to listing
After upgrades and increased rents to $850/2br and $650/1br, GMI increases to $20,000/m or $240,000/yr
I've checked the rent comps and they seem accurate, but I also don't know where someone might fudge a little.
One major number I'm missing is how much it would cost to rehab to get me up to the increased rents, but it wouldn't be a stainless steel, top tier type upgrade. As it sits currently, with only about $20,000 in rehab costs, it would only cash flow about $500 according to BP calcs. After upgrades, with rehab set at $50k, it's a much better cash flow. Also, I have no idea how I'd finance such a deal right now, but it might be about 10% of my own money and finance the rest. Not sure if I can get owner financing as this is very new.
Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
