There are a few areas that you need to analyze: Operating Revenues, Operating Costs, Repair (one-time) costs, and Financing options.I would start by looking at the after-repair rental rates for both 2 and 1 bed units, multiply that out by your 10 (2 bed) and 10 (1 bed) units to get a total monthly revenue.Then, figure out the cost of repair per type of unit (~10-15K/unit depending on finishes and extent of repairs necessary) Figure out the cost of repair for common areas (exterior, hallways, parking, main utilities, etc).Use common metrics for operating costs (10% management fee, 10% repair, 10% vacancy etc, 10% capex, etc.)Then figure out the NPV of the deal with both of the financing options to see what works better for you.
