Hello BP,

I would appreciate some more eyes on this deal. Some information that may help evaluations:

- I plan to utilize VA Loan

- I called a similar 4-plex property owner and asked him his rent prices, he stated he was renting for $1150. So I will be aiming to raise rent prices

- There is definitely room for value add.  I viewed the inside of 2 units and 1 of them is nowhere near move-in condition (I will be using that one as my classroom basically).

If you need more information, please let me know.

I found out recently that there are HOA fees. It was somewhat of a downer but I want to find out what all the HOA is responsible for, their reliability, etc. because the property needs some TLC that is not happening.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Devante,

Without doing a deep dive, I'd say that $64 cash flow is a dangerously small amount. That's one water heater away from being in the red for the year. 
One of the risks of being a new investor is falling in love with a deal that isn't a deal. I don't see anything you have included for rehab, and that will also eat into your profit. 

This probably isn't what you wanted to hear. I hope that it helps, however. Good luck!
