First deal (a duplex) under contract! Want some feedback!
Hello BiggerPockets!
After reading a few books and lurking way too much on this site. I decided recently to take the plunge. Now I'm under contract on my first investment home! Strategy for this is a long (5-10 year) term buy and hold with cash flow. Would love to get some thoughts and feedback on it before I actually pull the trigger.
Location: Atlanta, GA (where I'm based). Class C area.
Type: Duplex, each side a 2/1.
Occupancy: Both units occupied, each with long term tenants. One that's been there 40(!!) years.
Purchase price: 74k (cash), will cash out refi when possible.
Rent: 600 each side, 1200 combined. I think this can go a bit higher, but want to be careful with long term stable tenants.
Utilities: Landlord pays water. Currently about $150/mo. Would like to submeter this, but will have to feel that out with tenants.
Built: 1940
Condition: No major issues noticed on the walkthru. Waiting on inspection (will happen Wednesday). It's dated inside, but not bad.
Taxes: $729/yr
If there's any other info needed please ask! When I run the numbers on this it looks pretty good, but I'm definitely a novice here.
