@Jason D. 

Yes you are right, I plan on setting aside 5% Vacancy and 5% Repairs and maintenance every month for that. Nothing aside for CapEx as we plan to flip the building in a 5-year holding period.

Hi Everyone, 

I am looking to do my first commercial deal. I currently own residential multifamily and I want to get into commercial due to the scale you can get and Control Value. 

In order for my strategy to work though, I need to be able to secure the correct first deal: Value add 5-Unit under $500k

The goal would be to force appreciation, elevate cap rate, and flip the building to another investor. Profit, 1031 exchange into a larger deal.

The reason for this price is I am shopping on what I can put down for a down-payment WITH a partner. 

With that being said, here's the deal:

Purchase Price: $475,000

Cap Rate: 8.3%

Unit Mix

2/1- $900

1/1- $900

1/1- $875

1/1- $850

1/1- $800

Total: $4325/M  $51,900/Y 

----------------------------------

Maintenance

Insurance: $184.39/M 

Electric: $18

Water: $50

Garbage: $160

Taxes: $464.39

Common Areas: $150

Total: $1,026.64/M  $12,319.68/Y

Total Units: 5

Total Sq Ft. : 3,000

I am looking to purchase a commercial property with a few partners, but I would like to discuss setting up the entities correctly with a local Attorney as soon as possible. Just asking around to see who knows a good one. 

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

I am a current multifamily investor doing it the old school way. (ie. Saving income for a downpayment)

Now I think ive come across a nice 2% deal that i'd like to take a look at from a local wholesaler. It's not commercial as its a 4 plex, but still very promising. 

The question I have is typically this is an all cash purchase. If I use a private investor to purchase the deal. How would I be able to pay him back the full amount + interest?

Banks are doing 75% LTV around here.

Curious...

The only insurance quote I got was the one included from the lender. I am curious as to what that would come out to..

Even if I raise those prices I am close to $800 a month cashflow. What do you think @Roman M.

For $200 a unit it isn't as good as some other rentals I have seen, but this one has less headaches due to it being a newer build.

Here are the facts on the loan and the deal. 

I am entering with an FHA financing, which allows me to put down 3.5%

I will be living in one of the units for 1 year, but I am using my calculations without that and using this is a 2nd year analysis. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOAN DETAILS

Loan Amount: $436,000

Interest: 4%

Monthly Principal & Interest: $2,086.01

Mortgage Insurance: $302

Taxes: $ 364.50

Insurance: $ 250

3.5% of $445,000: $15,575

Estimated Closing Costs: $26,714

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOME

Current Rents are under market value

Current Rents: Unit 1 $1100 (2/1)

 Unit 2: $900 (1/1)

 Unit 3: $900 (1/1)

 Unit 4: $900 (1/1)

Total: $3,800

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED EXPENSES

Electric: $0 (tenants pay)

Water: $100 (estimated, I am in inspection period now and I am getting firm numbers today)

PMI: $302

Taxes: $364.50

Insurance: $250

Lawn Care: $50

HOA: $0

Total Fixed: $1066.50

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VARIABLE EXPENSES

Vacancy Allowance: 5% ($190)

Repairs and Maintenance: 5% ($190)

Cap Ex: $0 (New Construction and New Roof) 

Property Management: $0 ( I will self manage) 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Income:
$3,800.00
Monthly Expenses:
$3,496.64
Monthly Cashflow:
$303.36
Pro Forma Cap Rate:
6.14%
NOI:
$28,242.00
Total Cash Needed:
$28,575.00
Cash on Cash ROI:
12.74%
Purchase Cap Rate:
6.35%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see I Cash flow with the current rents: $303.36. Pretty terrible for a 4plex, but remember that I will be increasing the rent to the MARKET VALUE which is pretty standard of minimum $1000, for a 1/1 in MIAMI. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROJECTED CASHFLOW after INCREASING RENTS

Monthly Income:
$4,600.00
Monthly Expenses:
$3,576.64
Monthly Cashflow:
$1,023.36
Pro Forma Cap Rate:
8.02%
NOI:
$36,882.00
Total Cash Needed:
$28,575.00
Cash on Cash ROI:
42.98%
Purchase Cap Rate:
8.29%

Total Cashflow after vacancy and repairs: $1,023.36

Now for me that makes it a much better deal, what do you all think ? Am I missing something in my analysis? 

Thank you guys, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for the support and bigger pockets community.
