Deal or no Deal? Analysis Help Please!!
Alright guys, I was hoping you could give me some help on weather you think this is a good analysis or not, I am looking at a 4 Unit in Madison, and it would be my first purchase. Here are the details:
Purchase Price: 310,000
Down Payment: 15,500
Property Inspection: 500
Closing Costs: 4000
Monthly Expenses:
Water/Sewer: 200
Maintenance/Repairs: 200
Vacancy: 150
Cap Ex: 150
Misc: 100
Property Tax: (5500/yr) 459
Insurance: (1200/yr) 100
PMI: 205
Mortgage: 1389
Total: 2953
Rental Income: 3000
Alright, so do you guys think this is a good deal, and a good analysis? My problem is that the rents are under market value for the area, they should be at 3300. Also, how do I go about raising rents up to market value after taking possession (if I choose to buy it)? Is it legal to raise rents right away? The tenants are all on a year lease. The places are in good structural condition, but the units are messy and need some updates in the future (new flooring, cleaning, paint jobs, and a couple new bath tubs), its in a low income area. I eventually want to get the units looking nice, and new renters in there. Also we will be getting an FHA loan, and putting 5% down, so we will be living in it (I did my analysis as if we were renting out all 4 units, for when we move out) Any thoughts, comments, or advice?
I'm worried about not being able to find a deal, this is pretty cheap compared to what I've been seeing in regards to 4 units. How much waiting should I do before making my first purchase?
All input is appreciated, Thanks,
Kole
