Post: Help me analyze and compare two deals

Thank you @Don Spafford and @Guifre Mora for explaining. I did more analysis of these locations and here it is:

1. Market rent per unit I assume will be $1,600 per month. These properties have mix of 1 and 2 bed units.

2. Taking into account very low vacancy rate for the area which is around 3% I can assume that I will be able to rent out all units. The expected annual revenue per unit then will be around $20K and total annual revenue for 4 units will be $80K.

3. Annual expenses per unit will be around $10K, which includes all taxes, insurance, administrative and maintenance. And total annual expenses will be $40K.

4. Looking at the similar multi-family properties that were sold recently I can see that average price per unit should be $210K. And total price will be then $840K. Actually listed asking price is higher but using this market data I would assume I should get down to this price.

5. Going with these numbers the cap rate should be ($20K - $10K) / $210K = 5%. Is this considered an OK cap rate?

Hi everyone,

I am new to multifamily investing. Looking at two properties in Los Angeles, CA:

Property link2

What are the current market rents for these two locations? With the grim economic outlook in mind, how can my investment be effected? Based on the available data, it looks like there should not be too much damage.

Any thoughts?
