How should I think about this RE deal?
Hi, wife and I are first-time RE investors, based in Chicago. Our offer just got accepted for a new development duplex-down in a high-growth neighborhood of Chicago. Trying to pressure test the deal financials with the group here and see if this is a good idea. We will be living in the unit for a few months and then renting it out starting summer. Thoughts?
Property details:
- Duplex down - with 2400 sqft
- 5-7 min to train, bus, groceries and in a top 3 school district
- New developer property with 3 levels (we are buying the duplex down)
Financials:
- Purchase price: ~$690k
- Expected gross monthly rental income: $5400
- Expected monthly operating expenses: $4100 ($300 Prop Mgmt fee, kept it lower for now, $770 taxes, $200 HOA, $150 repair etc., rest is mortgage). This is after a 20% down and a 2% closing fee.
- Cash on cash return: 10-12%
- Not counting any appreciation, but our realtor says there's strong possibility of 3-4% yoy appreciation
