The closing costs for FHA are out of this world so I wanted to go conventional for a few reasons Smoother closeI know I can qualify for the mortgage amount if I can burrow money to put down and eventually give back of course :)Stronger deal than FHA ___________________Rents $2495Unit 1- $895Unit 2- $750Unit 3- Vacant Unit 4- $850Expenses Property Taxes : $245/moInsurance : $227/moVacancy : 5% (extremely strong rental area)PM: 7% ($171.50)Lawn care: $50/moReserves : $100/moCap ex: $100/MO (very well taken care of stainless steel throughout, roof 5 years old, new paint, HVAC 5-6 years old)Expenses $893.50(Income) Rent - expenses =  (NOI) $1476.75Mortgage- $969 (With bridge loan or other burrowed money 30% down (87k) 70%LTVNOI - Mortgage = Cashflow ($507.50)Bridge loan payment - $580/MO87k at 8% 2-3 year balloon -$72.51 cashflow with (bridge loan)$507.59 cashflow without bridge loanKeep in mind I did this for only 3 units, I will be owner occupying this property or should I not?!

I might have them right but if I do then it isn't really a cash flowing deal so I would appreciate some more experienced eyes on this.Purchase Price $79,000Sellers is paying the first $2000 of closing costsEstimated Repairs $20,000ARV $120,000This is two separate homes on the same property both are pretty much identical.Conservatively looking at $650 a month rent for each so $1300/month incomeRDP Insurance $1668 annually for bothTaxes around $1200I am figuring 5.5% for all loan valuesUsing about $44,800 on a HELOC and $66,200 on a 25 year amortized loan.Figuring 30% for all repair, vacancy, cap ex, and property management My totals come up to like $46/month cash flow. 

What will ROI be new versus existing construction versus cap ex, etc.

This includes putting $3600 in to reserves for Cap Ex and Repair and maintenance. 

Just make sure you have some cash reserves to pay for the mortgage and op ex while the property is vacant for those few months. 

All of the big cap ex expenses have been handled like roof and AC.

I note that you asked specifically about “cash-flows”, which has multiple components each treated differently for tax purposes.In general, you can start with NOI, next you have debt service and cap ex, which can get you to cash-flows.The interest portion of your debt service is tax deductible (possible subject to limitations) and the principal portion is not because you get basis in the asset for the loan principal, which generates a depreciation deduction.Similarly, cap ex is generally not deductible currently but the expenditure is capitalized and depreciated, similar to the initial basis in the asset.In summary, you have cash and non-cash tax items that cause your taxable income to differ from your cash-flows and taxable income * tax rate determines your tax liability.

It cash flows at $650 a month and yes that is with 25% set aside for cap-ex, repair, and vacancy.

like I said this deal isnt really making me money it gives me a small extra amount I plan to keep in savings for cap ex etc. although the house shouldnt need anything anytime soon. 

 So my soon to be ex wife and I own a property together.
