Need Help Analyzing

[Robert Hidrogo]

Hi folks, I have been searching for my first investment property and came across this deal in a different town (about 1.5 hrs away). I am not a pro member as of yet so was wondering if someone would help me analyze and come up with a creative way to try to make it  happen. 

Owner is selling apartment complex with 80% of units that have all been renovated and leased up to 80-100% with annual leases. (24) 1 Bed 1 Bath Units with 600SF, and rents for $510 per month, and (4) 2 Bed 1 Bath Units with 800SF rents for $610 per month. This is a small gated community with very reliable tenant base.
Proforma
$177,360 Stabilized Income
-$79,812 Less Expense @ 45%
$97,548 Stabilized NOI

Asking $929,000 Asking price is based off of a projected 10.5% CAP, and there's a renovations allowance for the remaining 6 units of $15,000. For more information on this please feel to call or email.

Any guidance on my possible first deal will be much appreciated.

Right. Proforma is a projection based on assumptions.

Imagine you found a classic car in a junk yard. It won't run and the body is covered in rust. In its current state, it is worth about $500. If it were fully restored it might be worth $15,000. What if the seller tried to sell it to you for $15,000. Would you buy it? 

Real estate is the same. Only buy based on actual, past 12 month net operating income.
