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  
Metrics


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  
 Metrics    
Net Income     354
CAP 6.88%
COC 3.08%

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!!

-Will
