First Duplex "Deal"
Hello Everyone!
I'm looking for my first deal. I really want to get this show on the road but I'm having trouble getting the numbers to work. ( Property taxes are too high! ) I know this isn't a great "deal", but do you all think it could work?
Deal Analysis:
Unit 1- 1bd/1bath : $795
Unit 2- 1bd/2bath: $850
Combined Rents : $1645
Asking Price: $140,000
PITI: $935
Monthly owner paid expenses: $430
Total Fixed Expenses : $1365
The difference between those 2 numbers is $280. Thats leaves me with $280 a month to cover vacancy, cap ex , and repairs. The unit seems to be very well maintained with new roof and heating system. It is also in a great area.
I also would like to say, initially I will be occupying one of the units. I'm basically trying to house hack but I want the numbers to work if i move out so i can hold on to the house.
Any thoughts or words of advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
