Help analyzing a property
Hello BP,
I hope I can get clarity on here. I have a property I'm thinking of purchasing. I eventually want to BRRRR but this property came up and I'm trying to decide if it makes sense as my first investment.
The numbers:
Purchase Price:$165,000
Down Payment$41,250Principal & Interest Payment: $703
Closing Costs: $7,1028
Gross Scheduled Income (GSI)$35,888
Number of Units:3
Annual expenses:
Utilities: $4,000
Maintenance & Repair: $1,500
Property Insurance:$1,500
Property Management: $3,589
Real Estate Taxes: $2,139
Its supposed to cash flow: $11,857
Did I forget any expenses?
My concerns are the cash needed for the deal ($50k) and it needing some work if the tenants leave. It is fully rented currently. I would prefer less cash invested but haven't found the right deal at a lower price. I appreciate any thoughts.

Hello. The few items I see that you (maybe) missed were capital expenditures (CapEx), Lawn/Snow care expenses, and $1,500 for maintenance might be kind of lite if the property is older/not updated.
But if you are projecting ~$3k a month in rent, that is almost 2% of the purchase price, which is very good, and you should be able to make good cash flow.
