Please help a newbie out - South Jersey analysis
Hi all! I have been a long time lurker and finally just acquired our very first rental property. It's a duplex in South Jersey. While i have tried to take everything i learned from BP I am hoping to leverage your expertise. Please let me know what you think of the following #'s.
Purchase Price $172,000
Cash put in (mortgage down payment + rehab/improvements) = ~$55,000
Expenses
Property Tax: $5100 annually or $425 per month
Mortgage P&I per month ~$560 per month
Insurance: budgeting $1000 per year
Utilities (sewer/water/garbage...etc) ~$165 per month
Vacancy: assuming 5%
Maintenance budget: $1500 per year
Income
Unit 1 = $1050
Unit 2 = $1200
Do these numbers look ok? Any considerations that i am blatantly missing?
Thank you in advance!
