Post: Single Family Student Rental - Turnkey

Hello BP!

This will be my second door with none of my own money. I am now putting together a deal for two investors and I. They are splitting total cash needed ($55,500) for 20% down on a purchase price of $262,500. It currently rents for $2,350 and there is still a bedroom unused. The tenants will only be in there for a maximum of three years and then I can fill the fifth room and cash flow even more. The cash flow that I came up with is around $710, splitting three ways, which will give each of my investors a 10% CoC return. I will then refinance after 2 years and up the rent once the current tenants move out.

My biggest issue is calculating CapEx and R&M. I have budgeted 10% for CapEx and 0% for R&M, being that this house was completely renovated with all new appliances, deck, roofing, paint, etc. Walking through the house, it seemed perfect. The only near future expense I can see is a water heater as it is about 15 years old. Other than that, nothing at all sticks out (I know there will be some expenses that I don't know about).

Any input at all for how I am analyzing this is helpful! 

Thank you!

I'm in the process of completing my first real estate purchase, a house hack, at The Ohio State University.  Now I'm looking at how to fund my next property and would like to bounce ideas around at the meeting.

Thank you all for the positive feedback! My landlord is definitely willing to sell to me. He understands that I would have to live there, therefore I have included a contingency in my offer to allow that. It is now in his hands to talk to the group of students and hopefully we can 'pay them off'. Thanks again!

Hello BP,

This is quite a unique scenario I have here. I am looking to house hack a beautiful house that I am already renting. I am a student at Ohio State and the renting market is quite competitive with all the other students in the area. The house went up for sale not even two months after I foolishly (in hindsight) decided not to sign the lease for next year.  

My issue here is that another group of students have already signed a lease and put down a security deposit for August 2017-2018. I will be moving out August 2017. 

Does anyone know of or have any experiences with possibly 'pushing' tenants to another property?

Thank you in advance!

Hello BP,

I am currently a student at Ohio State and will be there for at least another year. What I would like to do for my first property is a "house hack". I'm interested in either a SFR or a multifamily. The area I'm looking into is east of campus, or anywhere close. I realize this may be a shot in the dark due to the precise location, but I figured I would post. Thank you!
