Need Help Analyizing a Duplex Purchase
Hello BP Members! I am considering a duplex purchase and would
like to hear thoughts about the following potential transaction below. The
units are 2 bedroom, 1.5 baths, 2 uncovered parking spaces each. Both units are currently occupied but I know nothing about the tenants at this stage other than they are leased for $700 a unit (area comps indicate $725 - $735 could be achievable). Below are the numbers:
Sale Price $109,000 (property built in 1983, physically looks to be in good condition but due diligence (home inspection) would need to be performed)
25% Down Payment $27,250
Rent $1400
6.5 % Vacancy Loss $91
(based on each unit vacant one month a year)
Effective Gross Rent $1309
8% Property Mgmt $100
(this is what my current PM would charge)
Insurance $85
10% Repairs/Reserves $131
Leasing Fees $85
(estimate derived from what my current PM charges)
Property Taxes $225
Misc $15
Operating Expenses $646
Mortgage Payment $414 (4.5% interest @ 30 years)
Cash Flow $249
Rent to Value 1.28%
50% Rule 49.32%
Cash on Cash 9.57%
