I just wanted to add that if I add the taxes to the 7080 it comes out around 9,000. 9,000 divided by 12 makes it about $750 a month. Even if up the rent to $700 it would be a near 40 percent return. Am I looking at this correctly? Thanks again for reading!

Hi everyone thanks for reading. Below is the description I found online of a property. I'm Working on analyzing it but I found something I thought the current landlord has missed. They are charging $590 a month which comes out to $7080 a year. They then state the $1409 taxes and $550 insurance cost for the year. They then state a net profit of $5121. It seems to me they are taking the total rent and then subtracting the insurance and taxes from the total rent cost. From what I've learned the taxes and insurance should be transferred to the tenant. Which would result in a higher return on investment when the rent is raised to adjust for insurance and tax cost. I'm very new at this but would love anyone's feed back on this analysis. Thank you in advance! Great investment opportunity for beginner or experienced landlord. Two bedroom, one bathroom rental property for sale. Current tenant has been in the home since April 2013 on month to month lease at $590/month. Not interested in land contract or rent to own buyers. Annual rent of $7080 2015 non-homestead taxes $1409 2015 insurance $550 Net profit of $5121 per year/$27,500 purchase price = 18.6% annual return Property features: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 770 sqft Roof approximately 10 yrs old Water heater new in 2013 Kitchen, utility room and bathroom flooring new in 2013 New gutters installed in 2014 Hardwood flooring in living room and bedrooms Central air One and a half car detached garage with automatic opener

Hey everyone. I just recently have entertained the thought of using My Roth IRA ($8500)to possibly help fund my first deal. (I don't have a deal lined up but I am learning about new avenues of financing future opportunities) I was just curious about the specifics of this option. Possibly any tax implications I should worry about. I also have a 401k through my work that has about double of my Roth at the moment. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you BP Nation!

Robert Orel you're welcome. I totally understand I work 3rd shift. So I understand how tough it can be. Best of luck in the future.

Joe Semifero thanks for the clarification Joe. I agree I don't see many 30k houses maybe farther north into flint possibly.
