1st deal - 6 unit apartment building...HELP
So I've made a few offers on single family and small multifamily and as I was looking at another, the owner pulls up to the house and we got to talking. He had 2 other properties and since I was looking at this one as an investment, he tells me about this apartment building he wants to sell. For what it's worth, I've never been a landlord.
Details:
6 unit apartment building
fully occupied with 5 of 6 tenants being there 10+ years
owner admitted to not really taking care of the place except in "really bad" situations.
hasn't raised the rent in 12 years (tenants are paying $300-$500 PER MONTH less than comparable apartments in area)
Tenants pay electric. Owner pays water.
Believe it or not taxes are $1100/year. I triple checked. That's $1,100 per year.
Asking $130,000. yes that's correct also.
Monthly income $2200
water bill approx. $200/mo
Any words of advice/caution would be appreciated.
