First Time Buyer; Duplex

Account Closed
Posted

What's up guys,

First time investor here in Florida, west palm beach area.

Im about to close on this property, home inspection is tomorrow.

500K duplex, 3 Bed 2 Bath each side. 2300 Sq ft total. Has decent size backyard. (Appraisal came back at 500k)

FHA loan, 3.5% down

4.25% morgage rate (from morgate broker, i know this is high, but rates spiked)

Each unit can rent for 1900 - 2200 per month, but I would be living in one side for a year. 

House is newly painted (2022), new AC units (2021) , interior looks dated and will repaint the inside.

Any advice is welcomed! (Good or bad)
