Analysis Help, Please
I am considering purchasing my first out-of-state rental property, which is an off-market deal. I'm rather nervous about this one, as it'd be the first one that I haven't occupied before turning into a rental. Please help me out with the deal analysis. Are there any pitfalls that I'm not considering?
This duplex is in Massachusetts, and it is an older home; built in 1912. The first unit is a 3/1. The second unit is a multi-floor 2/1. There is a long-term tenant in the 3/1, paying $1,000/mo, which seems slightly under market value. A quick look around the Internet suggests that the second unit would rent for $875/mo. From the pictures, the house doesn't appear to need much work, so the repair budget is low. If I do move forward with this, I would fly out there and see the property first-hand before committing.
