My first MFH (4 unit) in Houston I want to purchase - review #s? (in HOA)
Disclaimer: I'm new to real estate investing (this would be my first property) - but I've spent a lot of time reading and researching.
I have a 4 unit MFH under contract, which I'm considering purchasing, and wanted to get a second set of eyeballs to ensure I'm not overlooking anything. For anyone that knows Houston, the property is near Westheimer and BW8, just a bit west.
Purchase price: 150,000
4 units, all filled. Average rent $750/each, this:
Gross monthly income: $3,000
Property in reasonable condition, no repairs needed.
Property Taxes: ~$3500
Monthly expenses - ~$810 - this includes $700/month HOA
Cash flow, with a 30 year mortgage, is ~$1k, which gives a ~40% cash on cash return.
note: the $1k above doesnt account for the 50% rule. It'd be less with the 50% rule if HOA is accounted for.
How does the above sound? A few questions/feedback I'd love to get:
1. Anyone familiar with the area? I live in Houston, but not sure of the specific area
2. What can I expect closing costs to be? (I'm a newbie investor)
3. Anything I should consider?
4. How do people rate the deal?
Thanks
