Should I or Shouldn't I? - Help with analysis.
Okay this is an odd ball. I seem to find these oddball deals - Anyhow the property is an old grocery store that was converted into 3 apartments. However it is zoned as residential 3 unit, yet it would never be classified as a "house". It is located in an lower income development, which keeps the rents low.
Price is $89,000 - Monthly Income $1545
Cash ROI = 41%
Total ROI = 47%
When I look at the numbers it seems like a no brainier with these kind of returns, but I also am thinking I am going to have lots of turns, and headaches. The units look in decent shape, just all white walls, decent kitchens and bathrooms, but definitely not luxury appts.
I figured I would get no appreciation, and was okay with that, since the cash flow would be between 600 and 800 a month, with a relatively small investment. The difference in cash flow is with or without a property manager.
Thoughts? I know I am not supposed to buy junk, but this is probably somewhere in between...Not really a value play, just a solid cash flow scenario.
