2 SFRs in Indy for 10% down. How did I do?

[Brian G.]

I started looking in Indy for one SFR to get my feet wet in a new market. I have two SFR in Stockton, CA and that market is now overvalued. In the middle of my search I heard that HomePath was doing 10% down with no MI on non owner ocs. My lender confirmed this and we are now in contract with these terms. As long as the inspections and underwriting go well I will be closing in a few weeks. The ROI and net cashflow are a bit lower than I would like but still better than what I'm getting in CA, I was also very conservative with closing and repair costs. I can still walk away only losing my $500 EMD so speak up if you see any issues!

Here are the numbers:

House A:

Built in 1990s 3/2.5 1600 Sq Ft. Nice street in a mixed area. Schools are mediocre. Similar smaller 3/2 across the street rented for $1199 in August. Minimial if any repair required.
