Bought my 2 rental property last week

Well last week, my wife and I closed on our 2nd rental property. It is a house that was converted long ago to a 3 unit. This makes 7 units for us total. We bought our first property 5 years ago this month. Hopefully after all the hard lessons learned and knowledge gained from the first property, it won't take another 5 years to get our third. Thank God and thanks to Bigger Pockets.

Yep, purchased in Cook County of IL. (Cook county not, that Landlord Friendly, and Taxes are kinda out of hand) but this was still a good deal.

$137,500 Purchase price (25%) down

MOnthy payment PITI--$1205

Gross rent $2100/month

2  ONe Bedroom units $625/month

1  2 bedroom unit $755/month

 garage rented for $100/month

The 1 bedrooms are 50-75 under market value

The 2 bedroom unit is about $200 under market value

Coin op laundry in the basement also.

Roof is 2 years old

Agents gave me a 14 month warranty on HVAC to make the deal go through.
