@Kyle Tusing

I don’t see a value add at this moment but will look further into this. The prop is basically turn key which I’m not use to buying. This market appreciates around 3% per year.

Deal

5 plex- Four 2-1 and One 1-1

Current rents 4650

Possible to raise to 4800

Asking price 475,000 offer of 450,000 accepted

It’s in excellent condition, well maintained and fully rented in great school district

Newer roof, bathrooms and kitchens

Loan details- DSCR 112500 down at 6.35% for 20year with 5 year arms

PITI 3363

Repair, vacancy and capex- 230,230,460

Lawn Service/ snow removal 160

As is with only CF 157 total but if you don’t factor capex, repair or vacancies it would CF 1,077 if you increase rents it would CF even more. If rates ever come back down it would be even sweeter. What do you guys think?

Awesome 5 plex in awesome School district 10 minutes from my house.

Loan details

25% down at 112,500

20 year with 5 year arm @ 6.34

PITI- 3363

Repair -230

Capex- 230

Vacancy- 460

Lawn Service/ Snow removal- 160

Cash flow - 157/ Month

Way lower CF than I’m use to but with principal pay down, appreciation and possibly of rates coming down and me refinancing also could probably increase rents to 4700-5000.

Any thoughts?

Post: Crashing US Dollar- How to prepare?

So lots of talks about the crash of the almighty dollar. Very general question and a lot of unknowns but what happens to RE portfolios if this would happen. I’ve read that RE can actually be a good investment if the dollar would fail but I honestly have no idea. Any idea how we could prepare for something of this magnitude?
