Hi John,
Thanks for your response!
The property is from 1973, Garden/Low-Rise. It is a 6-apartments building (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom). The property is in good conditions but all the air conditioning units and water heaters would need to be replaced soon due to their current conditions. The roof is fine since it was replaced in 2002.
The property management company I use would do for 5% and 1/2 month commission.
The owner is in charge of paying for the electricity for the common areas and this amount also includes the water. There is no gas in this property, and the sewer and garbage are included in the taxes.
This building was sold in 2014 for 200K ( I do not really see too much improvement in the property. The current owner painted it inside and outside, he installed new kitchen cabinets and laminated floor). Now, I am offering 360K but the number does not sound good for my profit. It does not reach the 50/50 rule (50% mortgage-50% profit).
Let me know if you consider it a good business.
Thanks for your help!
