Help Analyze my first Triplex deal!

[Josh Nabors]

I am a recent college graduate who works in health care. I make a healthy salary but would also like to get into real estate.  I have been following these forums for a while  trying to gain knowledge. 

The hardest problem I have come up against is finding "Deals." Once properties hit the MLS, they don't seem to have much value. Instead, I have been emailing craigslist "room for rent" adds and seeing if the owner is interested in selling. I have emailed 10 people. I have received 7 replies. 5 of which have told me a ball park amount that they would accept as an offer.

I would be doing an owner occupant FHA Loan with 3.5% down. My very minimum goal is to live for free and pay down my student loans quicker. If I cash flow , then all the better.

 One deal in particular perked my interests. Please help me analyze it. 

Triplex-

1 unit is a 2 BR/1 BA that gets $750/month.

2 units are 1 BR/1 BA and get $695/month each. ( I would live in one of these)

Total rental Income of property each month is $2,140, or $25,680/yr.

Monthly expenses are:

RPU - $150

MN Energy - $120

Trash - $20

Insurance - $140

Taxes - $151

Total monthly expenses: $581/month or $6,972/yr.

He told me that he just had a market assessment done and with a realtor it would list for 175,000k. Knowing this information, what type of offer would you propose?
