Either, Neither, or Both?
Hello BP,
First time poster, so please let me know how to ask for advice better!
I'm looking to add a property and have narrowed my options in Charleston SC (medium priced market) to two different properties. I have 2 single unit rentals and realize this isn't apples to apples.
Multi asking $270k
3-of-4 townhouses in a quadplex.
2br 1.5ba 1000sf with updated flooring appropriate for market
Rent currently for 850 each ($30,600), existing tenants through August 2016
Expenses:
Mortgage ($216k, 4.5%, 25y, $1200/mo) | 14400 | ||
Taxes | 3783 | ||
HOA (Insurance, Water, Pest, Landscaping) | 4140 | ||
Maint (7% of rent) | 2142 | ||
Management (10%) | 3060 | ||

Net Income | 3075 | ||
CAP | 6.72% | ||
COC | 5.91% |
Some room to increase rent. If we could move it to 950 in a year, even with 90% tenancy, numbers remain roughly even. This area rents immediately. Also, the seller currently runs the HOA for the 4 units, which
Single condo:
1Br 1Ba, 670 sf split level
Rents for $650 ($7800)
Expenses:
Mortgage ($47k, 4.5%, 25y, $300/mo) | 3600 | ||
Taxes | 600 | ||
HOA (Insurance, Water, Pest, Landscaping) | 1920 | ||
Maint (7% of rent) | 546 | ||
Management (10%) | 780 | ||

So, my question is: either, neither, or both worth the investment? I'm happy to give more details if they're helpful. Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!!
