Help with poss 1st duplex
This would be my first deal. It came on the market 2 days ago. It's in a suburb of Minneapolis. The pictures on line look good to me. Good condition, decent neighborhood.
Here are the details:
-Duplex. 2bed/1.5 bath each side. Couple possibly be made into a 3 bedroom.
-Current rent is $1200 per side. $2400/mo; $26,800 per year.
-Asking $250,000. I'd offer no more than $240,000
-Expenses:
taxes: 292
ins: 150
Repairs: 120
CapEx: 120
Snow/Lawn: 150
Vacancy: 100
Mgmt: 240
Total: $1172, $14,064
I'd put 20% down and finance the rest ($192000). PI=$1031
NOI= 1228/mo; 14,736/ yr
Cash Flow: 197/mo; $2364/yr
ROI= 4.9%
Cap rate= 6.14
This is a buy and hold for me to save for retirement in 20 years.
Is this a decent deal? If so, I'd like to move fast on this one.
