Updated almost 13 years ago,
My first property offer. Tell me what you think please.
I just put in my first offer yesterday. Here it is. This property is not on the market yet. They will be asking
Asking $149k
Offer $140K
Total PITIMI $1050
To get this property I will probably have to pay full price.
Here are the rest of the numbers.
4 plex FHA loan so I will occupy 1 unit.
All leases in place.
Rents from the other 3 are $1850
Figure for monthly maintenance $200
Cash flow after expenses $600
This is not actually income. It will be banked to support future property expenses.
My purpose for this property is to gain experience and have a second home for free.
I was not sure how to evaluate this property because I live in one unit rent free.
I will manage the property myself and do most of the maintenance since I will be on site.
One other concern I have is that I will have to terminate one tenants lease within 60 days of purchasing the property.
I do not like this fact as they are all pretty new leases. Also I will contact an attorney to find out legalities with this.
To make up for terminating there lease I am thinking of giving them 60 days notice and free rent for those 60 days plus refund there deposit in full for the inconvenience. I am not sure about this part. I just want to make sure that it is a win-win for everyone. My thinking is that I am not counting on rents from that unit anyway and they were not expecting to have to move.
I would appreciate your feedback on this situation.
Thanks
Jesse
