Here's the per month numbers I'm looking at with an FHA Loan for 30 years & 3.5% down payment at 4.85% interest:Expenses:Taxes: $391.67Homeowners Insurance: $66.67PMI: $150Vacancy (5%): $120Repairs (5%): $120CapEx (8%): $192Property Management (10%): $240Mortgage: $1,219(Tenants would pay for utilities)And... like, this isn't even accounting for Lawn care or Snow removal...Total Expenses: 2,499.33NOI = $2,400 - $1,280.33 = $1,119.67Cap Rate = $1,119.67 / $210,000 = 0.533%Also, for the 1%, 2%, or 3% rule this comes in at 1.143% = $2,400 / $210,000So, this is being generous, really. $210k is on the lower side and I'm assuming I'll take care of the lawn/snow.I'm most confused at how this can really change in any one direction to make it meet the 8% cap rate or the 2% or 3% rule... like the only way I can see it meeting those is by jacking up rent or getting the house for free by a family member.
