Feedback on first potential deal
I'm looking at a duplex that's in a small town (700 pop) about 30 min away from major civilizations. Seems to be made up of commuters and small town type people. The building is 100 years old, but the owner's almost completely rehabed it and then apparently ran out of money and are getting a divorce. I don't know the rental market in the area that well, but I put an add on CL for $800 and received 9 responses in 3 days. So here are my rough numbers.
Purchase Price 90K
Finish rehab est. 10K
ARV 130K
Taxes 900
Ins est 600
W/S/G est 1000
Rents est 1600-1700
Questions:
1 what should I estimate for repairs/cap ex on a rehabed 100 year old duplex?
2 how concerned should I be that I don't know the town very well and it's so small?
3 how do the numbers look?
Thanks in advance for your input
