Is this Potential QuadPlex in Philly a Good Deal?
Hello BP!
I am looking to get into a deal but do not know if I am missing something or worse am moving too slowly on a potential bargain in Philadelphia. A friend is thinking of selling their Quadplex and I heard it could be as low as 325k.
I want to owner occupy a multifamily and thought this might work.
325k Quadplex in an awful school district but low crime lower North East section of Philadelphia
Income:
Unit A: 1 Bedroom $700 (Unoccupied) Currently Under Renovation
Unit B: 1 Bedroom $650 (Occupied)
Unit C: 1 Bedroom $650 (Occupied)
Unit D: 1 Bedroom Efficiency $500 (Occupied)
Detached Garage A: $150 (Unoccupied)
Detached Garage B: $150 (Unoccupied)
Total $2800
Expenses:
1.4% tax on 200k assessed value: $2800/yr -> $233
5% Vacancy -> $140
3% Repairs -> $84
7% Cap Ex -> $196 (Older Property built ~1930)
5% Prop Mng -> $140
Insurance -> $135
FHA Mortagage -> $1,368
MIP -> $230
Total: $2,526
Cash Flow: $274
CoC Return: 12%
I would love to hear any comments, warnings, or questions I should ask the owner.
I am unsure if I am looking at the whole picture? Is there a better way to estimate costs like repairs or Cap ex instead of a percent of rent that seems arbitrary to me?
Any and all insight is appreciated thank you BP you are an awesome community!
