Please Provide Deal Analysis on a 12-Unit. Feedback appreciated
An off-market deal has been brought to my attention. The owner is not selling, but is not opposed to selling. The unit is a 12-unit apartment building in Connecticut. 11 of the 12 units are currently rented. All units are 1 bedroom, one bathroom, with a bonus room (either guest room or office). I am not sure why the additional space is guest or office, my guess is no closet or window. All units rent for $750 a month. There is off street parking for all the apartments, a four bay garage and 8 additional parking spaces. My analysis is below. What I request assistance with is help formulating a offer price. I have an idea of what I think is a reasonable offer price, but I haven't purchased an off market apartment building yet and am a bit unsure where to start the discussion on offer price......

I plugged in 600K for an offer price because that warranted a cap rate of 10%+. That is not my answer necessarily, but a good stepping off point, I thought. With the ROI high enough I am open to offering a bit more but obviously want to get in as low as possible. Additionally, I used a commercial loan as the basis for funding with 20% down, but am hoping to work seller financing to entice them to a lower price with opportunity for interest and a monthly income stream. Not the only option, but one I am going to work.
Other notes:
The units are in extremely good shape. This is essentially a turn key deal, not a value add
The unit rents are undervalued (roughly 10%). Not a consideration in offer price, but a nice benefit. They should rent for between $800-$825.
Off street parking is rare in this area. The fact that they all have a space makes them appetizing which helps keeps the vacancy rates low. I will still plan for 10% of course, but the parking will help.
Please help me find a good offer price that won't end the conversation with the seller, but is a good enough deal to make it happen.
Thanks all in advance!
