thanks for the reply. I'm not super familiar with cap rates but other single, duplex and triplex cap rates seem to be similar.

I'm looking at possibly my first purchase, it's from someone I know, and I know the complex is in good shape. The unit is in a great part of town, very popular area. Units have all been renovated about 7 years ago. I'm hoping someone can give me an opinion and help with the numbers.

The apartment cost is $750,000. All 8 units are rented out and have been for quite some time. I also think rent is fairly low so would be easy to fill and could even be increased.

Rent is currently averaging $690 per unit so $5520 per month in rent income.

Monthly expenses = $1445. Insurance, tax, water, electric, garbage.

$7,000 maintenance last year $5,000 of it from a roof repair.

I think for this complex I will need to put down 35%, which I have saved up, but it's pretty much everything I have saved up.

If I put in a 5% vacancy, and $3000 annual maintenance.

That would give me a 13.2IRR.

$1484 monthly cashflow

5.66 cap rate.

I'm new and one of my biggest concerns is mortage rates right now are around 3%. Probably a beginner question but what if it goes up significantly?
