Analyzing the deal: 55 Unit complex in MA
I've done my homework and I can now analyze a small multi-family (2-4 units) in a few minutes. I'm working on getting my first deal. That said I'm quite enjoying the BP podcasts where folks just jumped head long into partnerships and/ or syndications for larger apartment complexes. I had this property catch my eye while I was perusing the MLS for fun.
This property is a 55 Unit in Foxboro, MA with a mix of 1, 2 units, 1 and 2 BR units for for between $1645 and $2400, according to rental information available online, rent.com indicates 8 units are currently vacant. For the sake of my analysis I'm going to assume all units are $1700/ month so that it is conservative.
List Price: $11,000,000
RE Taxes: $89,582
Gross Income listed at $38,100 so lets assume that is not correct information.
My assumptions:
At least 1 on site manager and 1 FT or 2 P/T / On-call maintenance staff, with outsourcing of lawn care, snow removal and possibly items such as unit turnover (paint, flooring).
I (and lots of my closest friends, business partners) fund 10% of this deal and I get a loan @7% for the remaining 90%.
Income (@ current occupancy of 85%) = $79,475
Expenses:
2 FT employees ($20/ hour*320) = $6,400
Mortgage = $65,865
RE taxes = $7,465
Monthly Net Income before R&M, Insurance, CapEx and Vacancy . = $-255
I don't know how to properly estimate R&M, Insurance, CapEx and Vacancy but just the expenses above indicate that the 11 million price tag is far too high for my taste.
Who want's to explain to me what I am missing to analyze this deal?
