@Valerie Winrow, I'm no Section 8 expert, but I believe some require that the landlord covers utilities. I'd double confirm that the tenant is responsible for gas, electric, water/sewer, lawn care, and snow removal (it snows in Kansas, right?).
- Vacancy is probably low. I usually figure 8%, but with a solid Section 8 tenant, they may stay for years and years.
- I would bump CapEx and Repairs to 15% combined.
- Since this isn't owner-occupied, you'll most likely need to put down 20-25%.
- our interest rate isn't going to be that low. Probably closer to 4.5%. Check with some local banks / credit unions.
- There will definitely be some closing costs. Again, check with the bank, but probably ~$4k.
Might still be a winner, but you need to re-run your numbers.
