Duplex - Baltimore City

[Thomas Hudak]

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $50,000

Purchased an off-market duplex Baltimore City - October 2017. Acquisition price $50K. Put approximately $10K into the deal. I financed 85% with a commercial note and used an unsecured credit line to fund the closing and light rehab. At the time, it only appraised for 52K. However, I did not run away from the deal. I was able to rent both units out at $695. The high cash-flow more than offset the lack of equity.
