First taste at Real Estate- Condo

Mark A.
  • West Hartford, CT

Hi all,

My name is Mark Anthon.

This will be my first taste of real estate buying and holding.

I'm currently looking at a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath townhouse condo:

  • Beds3 Bed
  • House Size1,246 Sq Ft
  • Price $149,900
  • Condo/townhouse
  • Baths1 Full, 1 Half Bath
  • Price/sqft $120
  • Year Built1977
  • 6 rooms
  • Fireplace
  • 2 parking space
  • it comes with private trash pickup, pool, and basketball courts

Average listing price for similar homes $229,794

Average sale price for similar homes $147,173 

if i'm following the 2% rule, I can roughly get out a $2.9K (or a little lower) rent out of this. 

Mortgage should be about $500

Property Tax should be about $150 ( i think)

Homeowner insurance should be about $50

Please forgive me if this is amateurish. I would love to get to know how to analyze whether or not this is a good deal.

Thank you all in advance,

Mark Anthon
