Analysis Paralysis - Please Help
Hi BP Community:
I am about to finally purchase my first SF rental property. The investment doesn't pass the 2% or even the 1% rule (hard to find these days) but the overall performance looks better than what I have found and analyzed so far. The property is in a college town in mid-west (very low vacancy rate, very high rental demand), tenanted, 4 master bedrooms, each room is rented at $500 a month (a total of $2,000 monthly income). This is a relatively new construction (2016) and the seller just accepted the offer for $210K. Utilities are paid by the tenants. I am planning to take a loan with 25% down payment. Here is a summary of my analysis. I appreciate any insights or comments. Please let me know if I am missing anything and how you rate this investment. Thanks!
