Taxes $64,662

fuel $10,000
electric $2,500
super $2,400
maintenance $7,000
insurance $7,350

Total expenses:$109,878

Net operating income: $323,737

The building apartments do need cosmetic and asthetic upgrades, I am told by the realtor that the upgrades run
in total between 30k - 50k per apartment.

current cap rate based on latest accepted offer: 5.9%
least cap rate I am willing to accept to make an offer: 10%

Real estate owner is also selling the bar that consumes the ground floor and basement of the building. The business revenue is between $400k-$600k annually with business operating expenses of 100k.

The seller is very motivated to sell in order to move back to europe, the seller first accepted an offer of 6.7mm, the deal did not go through because it was dependent on the buyer's 1031 exchange, the seller then had another offer at 5.5mm and the seller accepted but the deal did not go through because the buyer could not get adequate funding, the would be buyer was rehabber.

I wanted to make an offer of 3.137mm
I derived this number because the least amount of cap rate I willing to accept is 10%, that means the price has to be $3,237,370 but because there are needed cosmetic upgrades, I totalled it to be $400k. So I subtracted $400k from the 10% cap rate price, that is $2,837,370 and added the $300k NOI for the retail bar business as well.

I have four exit strategies:
Exit Strategy 1:
Sell property and business only after apartment upgrades are complete and rents have been raised to average rent in the area. Time frame is 3 years

Exit Strategy 2:
If area continues to boom due to bounce in the economy, keep the property and the business, after apartment upgrades then refinance loan to a more stable rate. Time frame is 3 years

Exit Strategy 3:
If area continues to boom due to bounce in the economy, keep the property and close or sell the business, lease the space to a 4 star or 5 star restaurant, after apartment upgrades then refinance loan to a more stable rate. Time frame is 3 years

Exit Strategy 4:
Do an equity partnership, close the business, exercise the additional 7,350 airspace rights and rehab the building into a high luxury condominium, then lease the space to a 4 star or 5 star restaurant, after rehab is complete. Time frame is 5 years

Please let me know if this is the right way to analyze a property and derive true property value base on income it generates. I am looking for partners in this deal as I have good credit but I have low liquid cash.

Thanks in Advance,
Frank
