The higher NOI and improved valuation should allow for a significant profit.FINANCIALS- Current - $95k NOI from $98,100 of lease revenue- Projected - $106k NOI from $115k of lease revenue- 7.92% - Current CAP rate ($1.2 million purchase price)- 6.5% - Projected CAP valuation ($1.63 million sale price)- $113k rehab/sale costs- Net zero holding costs - should be fully covered by new lease rates- $430,000 - Projected Property Value Increase- $317k - Projected PROFIT - Split between me and the down payment / finance partnerCOSTS Summary:- $82k realtor fee upon selling (5%)- $30k rehab - Includes reclaiming “common” space as a new 250sf office space, and exterior paint/refresh.- 20% down payment - Partner w/ shared profit, no set interest rate- 10% DSCR interest loan - 1:1 Ratio covered with current rent, even better with increased new rent- Hold - 3 to 12 months, but holding costs would be covered by the rent In my mind, the 6.5% cap rate is very conservative for a lot of the market around here, although most higher-valued properties have property managers OR they are much larger, and well above the $100k NOI.
