House hacking advice
Hi all, my name is Hiro and am a fairly new BP member from Cincinnati OH area. A bit about me, I purchased my first property roughly a year ago which I'm currently renting out. I bought it without knowing much other than wanting to invest.
I'm now looking into house hacking a triplex in a fairly rebuilt part of the city, and would much appreciate you all's insights. The property is on sale for $200K, on a street among $170K - $350K houses. Below are some bullet points:
- On sale for $200K
- Built 1906 (normal for this area)
- Three family home
- Last sold 2011 for $118K
- Rental income in the area for 2BDR (same as what each unit has in this building) is approx. $900 - $1,100
- Based on $900 x 3 units (if I don't reside) / 8% vacancy / 5% maintenance / 10% cap-ex / 8% property management fee, cash flow calculates to be approx. $450/mo.
I will go see the inside this week with my realtor and handyman. Before I do, what are some key points I should be looking for, or consider?
