Too good to be true or gold mine?
I have been doing a lot of research on what are key numbers to value an income property and determine whether its worthwhile. I have posted recently about this property I am in the process of purchasing and compared to the numbers I see floating around on other posts, I feel this property is either too good to be true on returns, I am running the numbers wrong, or this property is a gold mine.
Purchase Price $145,000
Down Payment (20%) $29,000
Mortgage (15yr/4.75%) $10,824
Rents (6 units)
Unit 1 - 4 = $675/mo
Unit 5 - $650/mo
Unit 6 - $600/mo
Total Monthly Income = $3950
Total Yearly Income = $47,400
Expenses (Annually)
Taxes - $2570
Insurance - $1200
Heat - $3200
Electricity - $2600
Trash - $600
Water/Sewer - $1200
Propane - $300
Snow - $800
Lawn - $800
Vacancy - $3000
Repairs - $3000
Management - Zero as I will be managing
Mortgage - $10,824
Total Expenses = $30,094
Income $47,400 - Expenses $30,094 = $17,306
CAP RATE after all expenses/debt services - 17,306 ÷ 145,000 = 11.9%
CoC Return - 17,306 ÷ 29,000 = 59.6%
Some may argue vacancies and repairs are low, but in my case, based on what I know and see with this property, I am confident in these numbers. The building is in great shape. Roof is 8 years old, all electrical has been updated, pellet boiler is 8 years old, vinyl siding, units are all in good shape. There is also a low vacancy record on this property as well as a waiting list (no section 8 in property, but its section 8 approved). Even considering being extra conservative and increasing vacancy and repair to $5000/ea, I feel this is still a strong return. What do you guys think? Am I under estimating or did I find a good deal?
