Duplex in Gainesville, Florida
Looking to purchase my first duplex in Gainesville, FL for a rental. Duplex is in "Phoenix" subdivision of 32608 area code. I would say C-/D neighborhood.
I need everyone's input on a deal that I'm in the process of making. Here are details:
- Specs: Duplex built in 1979, 2/1.5, 2 stories
- Purchase price / financing: $50000 with 100% financing
- Rented: Both units are rented at $500/unit/month = $1000/month
- P&I: $370
- Insurance: $55
- Property taxes: $65
- Maintenance, repairs, reserves: 15% of total rent = $155
- Utilities: $0
- Property Management: $105
- Vacancy: 10% of total rent = $105
- Cash flow: Approx $160
Duplex needs $5000 of repairs.
Seems like this will cash flow but I just don't like the neighborhood and I am worried about declining values and if I needed to sell down the road the value wouldn't be there.
Thanks in advance.
