Feedback for first investment property
Hello -
I'm in contracts to purchase my first investment property in Phoenix. I wanted to run the numbers by the community to see if this deal makes sense. I'm purchasing new construction in Arizona in hopes to minimize repair costs. I know repair costs are inevitable but hoping new construction should help with this. The home is a 3 bed/2.5 bath with 1850 square feet. Here's what the deal looks like:
Purchase price - $269,000
Cash down - $70,000
Expenses - $1275 (includes mortgage, taxes, insurance and HOA)
Estimated rent - $1700 to $1800 (based on other rentals)
Monthly income - $425 to $525
5% Vacancy Rate - $90
Total Monthly Income - $335 to $435
Total Annual Income - $4,020 to $5,220
Return on cash - $5.74 to 7.45%
I realize I'm not figuring any repair expenses into my numbers or property management fees. I plan on renting this unit myself and managing it on my own. I have a warranty for the first year with the builder so repair costs should be minimal. I would be interested in the community's feedback on this deal. Thanks in advance.
