Is this MF a good deal?
Total novice here. Was reading on the forums about the 2% rule. I would like to know what everyone feels would be the max offer on the following:
Location: DFW area
5-Plex
Asking Price = 270,000
Owners remarks: Each unit fully remodeled w/stoves, refrigerators, tile, cabinets, appliances, showers & plumbing in 2008. Roof replaced in 2006.
(2) - 2 bed/1 bath currently at $670 ea;
(2) - 1 bed/1 bath at $650 ea;
(1) - efficiency at $475.
$5000 in taxes per year
$200 per month in utilities for gas & water
$325 per month for electric
2% rule = $155,750
I know that the first thing I would do is stop paying utilities. There are 5 separate meters so I don't know why the owner is paying utilities. Water may make sense since the units are presumable small and there is just one central heat/water unit.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts!
