Calculating expenses for a small multi-family property
Hi Bigger Pockets community,
I'm starting to analyze deals in the Philly + suburbs area. I'm looking for a small multi family in the 100-250K range. Here are the costs I'm estimating and would love to get your feedback on these numbers and assumptions. Does this look right or am I off base? I'm I missing any other expenses line items?
Also, if you have a multi-family in this area for sale, send it my way!
