need help to know if this is a good deal
Hi, I'm very new into learning about real estate so forgive me for any silly questions,
I came across a property in a small town anthony NM, it is a very small duplex with two apartments in the back (total 4 units)
1st unit is decent, 2 bed 1 bath (decent condition)
2nd unit attached to first unit is basically a studio (very small)
3rd unit in the back is a 1 bed 1 bath studio
4th unit in back is 1 bed 1,bath unit.
the owner lives in the 2 bedroom unit and his mother lives in the studio next to him.
I've known him for years and he's rented out the back 2 apartments for 400 each with success, hardly ecer is there a vacancy (even tho they are pretty ugly and old)
so long story short. I figure the 2 units in the back net 800/month
the 2bed unit could net 600
and the studio next to it another 400.
total of 1800/month 4 units.
they are old, they aren't the nicest thing and it is in a very poor area (tho sade, no crime, lots of older people, small town)
he is asking 80,000
according to my calculations that's around close to 600 a month including mortgage, ins, and taxes.
id hire a property manager which would be around 180
and put away cap ex of 100
mortgage 600
cap ex 100
manager 180
total 880
and can produce 1800 a month.
it almost seems to good to be true, is it? am I missing something?
