. $360k equity (based on your estimated loan balance and estimated transaction costs if you sold, this is not calculating capital gains taxes but that would reduce your equity down to about $310k if you sold without doing a 1031 exchange). $8k cash flow (this will increase over time because you are in an appreciation market). $6k principal pay down (based on your current loan). $20k appreciation (based on 3% which is conservative, 4-5% is the historical average).

I mainly want to ask if these assumptions are reasonable and if there's anything I haven't considered:(1) multifamily units in NJ close to New York City, ~$1,000,000, 20% down payment, (2) Using the following assumptions: 4% appreciation rate, 6.5% interest rate and 5.0% refinance after 5 years, $10,000 yearly maintenance fee(3) ~$6,000 monthly rental and assume 3% increase yearly with 5% vacancy rate(4) Based on the above, the calculated IRR if selling at the 10th year is ~19% (considering tax benefits) and ~17% (without tax benefits).
