Fall 2022 MLS listing Duplex purchase

[MIlton Monzon]

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $108,000
Cash invested: $23,000

Originally listed at 193k. Negotiated to 108k. Appraisal report showed "as is" value to be 155k! So off the bat 47k of equity with two tenants who were paying on time 875 and 1500 a month. Leases expire in July and market rents will be 1350 and 1700 bringing in 500$ more of cashflow totaling 1000$ a month with a rate of 8%. Out of the 6 homes with listings longer than 90 days two negotiated with me and this one made it happen. Worst thing that could have happened is the seller saying NO.
