Potential first Buy and Hold Deal
Hello all,
I was presented with a tentative offer for a buy and hold property in Sacramento, and am looking for some guidance on if this seems like a decent investment:
Property is a SFH in a Class C neighborhood. Built in 1983, it is a 2/1 and about 821 SQFT with 230 SQFT for the garage. It is in a HOA of about 10 units. I have not seen the inside and have minimal numbers:
I can negotiate the price to $75000 - 85000
Currently renter occupied at $700
average rent within 1 mile is $860
I am told there is no rehab work needed, and the renter would be staying.
Principle and interest with 25% down or $18750 is $270 a month
HOA dues are $95 a month, renter pays utilities.
I have only estimated taxes and insurance at $150 a month
Not sure about closing costs or other fees yet.
By those numbers total monthly expenses would be around $515.
Cash flow is $185 a month.
Comps and other estimates put the retail value at $90k
Anyways, These are only rough numbers but the seller needs to know within the next couple of days if I am interested. Anything else I should be considering for expenses? How do the pictures look? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
