My first investment analysis

Jason Kibbey

Ok, so i'm new to real estate and bigger pockets and I am currently reading the ultimate beginners guide. I haven't gone through the entire guide yet but I figured that I would practice analyzing some deals the same way it was done in the "introduction to real estate analysis" example deal. 

I didn't draw out the full term and calculate total ROI but I did find some interesting things. *Disclaimer* for making this easy for my first analysis I used Zillow and I estimated a few things so feel free to give me feed back.

This deal was for 3 studios on a single property. I entered it with the full asking price. The zestimate price is almost half of what the asking price was. I used a closing cost estimator, a mortgage payment estimator, the average bakersfield vacancy rate, a 9% property managment rate, and I also assumed that no repairs would be needed to get all rentals occupied immediately ( and the seller indicates they are already filled). From the estimates I have the cash on cash ROI is about 10.79% and the cap rate is about 6.63% (although loopnet indicates a cap rate of 10%). The analysis also shows that If I payed the zestimate price that my Cap rate would be closer to 12%.

I don't know if it affects my numbers that much but I really don't know the utility costs to the owner or the actual insurance cost so I estimated.

What do you all think? and is there any way I can better figure out utility costs for owners if they have renters? and also insurance estimates?
