First deal down #2 negotiating
Right at the end of 2015 I closed on my first rental property. In hind sight, there are things about the deal I like and some that I don't. However, i value the opinion of those of you with greater experience.
Here is deal #1
2/2 condo near a university
Paid 40k - 15% down on a commercial loan through our LLC
Inherited a tenant paying $695 a month, she moved out March 1 leaving ruined carpet due to an unapproved pet. We knew she and the carpet had to go at purchase and her deposit covered that cost. In the turn, I put about $200 into some minor fixes and a full paint job - about 15 hours labor.
Should have a new tenant first part of April paying $825.
All the numbers:
Price 40k. Loan of 34k for 7 years at 4.2% ($470/mo)
Taxes 890
Insurance 360
HOA 95/mo
Property management 10%
Should net $75/mo before repairs.
I would rather have a longer term on the note and more cash flow.
2nd deal (out of state owner that wants out) 11 year old property
3/2 townhome offered 50k, should appraise for 85K, waiting for counter offer
Great long term tenant in place paying $950
HOA 110/yr
Taxes 1045
Insurance $600 est.
Should cash flow about $350/mo at my price.
Thoughts and questions appreciated.
