Please help me analyze this deal
Hi everyone,
I found this property that I am interested in purchasing as a rental property. It is a 2 bedroom/2.5 bath townhouse with 1212 sq ft. The townhouse was originally listed for $120k and has now dropped to $105k after being on the market for about 8 months. I am hoping to offer $85-90k.
Here are the numbers I am running:
- Rent in area for a 2 bedroom is about $1200/month (based on Rentometer)
- Mortgage (PI) is $390/month (based on $90k with 20% down @5% interest)
- Taxes is $150/month
- Insurance is $60/month
- HOA I am estimating to be $50/month
- Vacancy (7%) = $84/month
- CapEx (10%) = $120/month
- Maintenance (8%) = $96/month
- Management (10%) is $120/month (I plan to do this but added it anyway)
- Total Cash Flow = $130/month
I have not seen the property but based on the few pictures I have seen, I think I will need to paint ($2500), redo flooring ($3000), redo kitchen ($7500), and maybe redo a bathroom ($5000). I am not sure if these estimates are correct though but this would be about $18000 in rehab work. Please see the picture and provide your opinion is i need to redo kitchen.
Here are my questions:
- Do you all think this is a good deal or are the rehab costs too expensive to make this a deal?
- It is concerning me that the property has been on the market as long as it has. The neighboring townhomes all value at around 120-130 (based on zooming in on Zillow). The area also has a ton of new construction. Are these things I should be concerned about?
Thank you all in advance.
