My first property, valuation, buy and hold, or sell?
,What is this property really worth?
My first property was purchased in July 2015, a full renovation was complete at end of October, and tenants just moved in this December. These properties are so nice that people got very emotional about being able to rent them. In both cases, the first person who saw them rented them. I have excellent tenants, one has a corporate agency guarantor. The main house is an SFR of 1070sf, and the 2nd unit is a detached ADU of 560sf. Both have central AC, both have granite counters, both have new bathrooms, new kitchens, new tiles floors, new drywall, both have been painted, fully renovated, everything in excellent condition, great quality work. The neighborhood is a C -, blue collar, low income jobs, or no jobs. However, it is a safe neighborhood, and a quiet neighborhood. Other houses on the street are being renovated by other investors or owners, so the overall quality of the area is going up.
My 2016 annual rent income will be: $28,800
Assuming 7.5% vacancy, property taxes, insurance, 5% maintenance, 10% CapEx Reserves, and $4260 for utilities (landlord pays utilities), the expense ratio is 41%, leaving an NOI of $16,870.
The appraisal for the 3/2 SFR, (treating the ADU as a storage building rather than an ADU living area), came back at $121K. The ADU alone nets $9,900/yr (rent minus utilities).
If I marketed to buyers who wanted a 3/2 to live in, and wanted an ADU to pay the mortgage, would I be able to get a significant premium sale price above what the appraisal says?
Also, when selling a property with excellent cash flow like this, how many years multiple of cash flow does one want to get back as net profit on the sale?
In general, how much is a property worth just based on NOI of $16,870?
Thanks!!
