First deal under contract
Please help me analyze my first deal which I am currently under contract for and will have an inspection on tomorrow. I am having trouble finding comps since there are not many triplexes sold near this area. I was unable to see the property until I put it under contract. During my first walk-through, I realized that it may need a new roof (judging from my untrained eye.) My plan is to lower my offer based on inspection. I will also live in one unit for at least a year while doing any necessary cosmetic work to raise rents to market rates. My boyfriend & I will also pay myself rent to add to savings for reserves. My goal is to at least lower my current living expenses ($800/mo) until I move out and start cash flowing.
