my first duplex - is this a good deal?
Been talking with an elderly private seller who wants to sell a brick duplex, 2br/1ba. 1540 sq ft. Good location, great shape, HVAC about 15 yrs old, 5 yr roof. He seemed to think it was worth around 130K based on his improvements, but I'm starting my analysis based on the County taxable market value of $88,850. He mentioned seller financing, which would be great since I very little to put down, although I believe he still has a mortgage on the property. Here is what I have come up with:
Gross Mo. Rents 1100 (550/unit)
Prop Tax 150
Insurance 40
PM 10% 110
Vac 10% 110
maintenance 5% 55
CapX 5% 55
Total Mo. Op. Ex. 520
Mortgage 424 (I'm new to seller financing, so I've started with a 30yr / 4% / 0 down estimate)
Monthly Profit 156
NOI 6,960
est price 88,850 (based on county taxable market value)
Cap Rate 7.8 %
