High end condo opportunity
Looking to see if I calculated this correctly and if there is a good reason to continue looking at this property with what appears to be dismal cash flow.
It's a high end condominium duplex built in 2008 listed at $329,000 with a fair market value of $308,200 and yearly taxes of $6951 (OUCH). Assuming I get it for the fair market value with 20% down and continue with the leases that are both currently $1275 per month, my cashflow spreadsheet calculator shows almost zero or negative cashflow.
My spreadsheet calculates expenses at $714 per month based on the monthly rents of $2550:
Property Management | $153.00 | 6% |
Savings for repairs | $178.50 | 7% |
Vacancy | $127.50 | 5% |
CapEx | $255.00 | 10% |
PITI is estimated at $1918. Total expense are $2632.42, which is -$82 per month cashflow. If I up the downpayment to 30% it produces a measly $75 per month in cashflow. Not sure if this property can support a higher rent or not, but that might be an option.
To me this looks like a crap deal, but I'm just starting out and I don't know if this is a long term investment worth pursuing.
