First Duplex numbers check
Hey everyone! Just had a counter offer on my first duplex. Do my #s make sense? Two 1/1s in AZ.
134k purchase with 4k closing to me.
25% (32500) down payment
Current rents are 800 and 650. Utilities included (🤮, I know) average $350. They are at least 100 below market rents. The 650 side needs some love in the form of carpet, paint, some cabinet doors and a few other cosmetics and is on a month to month lease, the 800 side is good and just signed a 1 year lease. I used about 17% total rents for capex (5% vacancy, 5% mx, 5 and some change for other) which is about 50% total income after PITI and utilities.
1450-570(PITI)-350(utilities)=530
530-250(capex)=280mo 3360yr /32.5k=10.3%
Raise each side $100
1650-570-350-250=480 480mo 5760yr/ 32.5k 17.7%
Add 3k reno = 16.2% return CoC
Am I missing something? I know it's not a home run but I dont want to play the analysis paralysis game anymore and would like to get some good education rolling.
Thanks for your time!

**Update**
Just got the appraisal back yall... 226k! I'm all in for only 134k and am getting 154k back AFTER closing costs AND I have a few grand in the bank from mortgage free rents. So that means free duplex plus ~25K payday! On top of all of that, it's top of the line so it's renting for $1025 a side! So will cash flow ~10K a year(7K if you take out the 3k/$250 a month for MX/vacancy/CAPEX).
Super big shout out to all of you who helped along the way! I love BP. Serious game changer, I owe you a beer next time your in Yuma! (Dont come in the summer haha)
