From repairs and maintenance?

Quote from @Jeffrey Bourque: Hello All, I am new and this is my first attempt at purchasing a property with the intent to create monthly cash flow.The property: Triplex Listed at $140,000 - Total monthly rent income $2,150 - Tenants want to stay and are all willing to sign new leases for 3 years - 8 beds 5 baths and 3,500sqft livable space on a 4,800sqft lot - Heat and electric paid by tenants and water trash paid by owner $180 month - I have managed to talk the selling price down to $105,000 with a kick of $10,000 for closing and commissions so $115,000 all in - Building is in fairly good shape according to pictures and questions but have not done a inspection yet - some general maintenance repairs are needed according to the seller but nothing that seems to bother the tenants. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

Having it solid in a spreadsheet instead of in your head or on notebook paper and playing with the numbers for the repair budget isn't wrong.

Document all your efforts, including repair invoices and communications, to show you’re acting in good faith as a landlord.

For abandoned parks with infrastructure, some lenders may consider them as long as there’s a plan for the rehab and the infrastructure is in good condition or can be repaired.

Given your buy box, keep an eye out for properties with strong rental demand and minimal major repairs.

., repairs, taxes) must be paid directly from the SDIRA.3.

Those are the cost of doing business.I will use my clients property, purchased last year as an example:(57,000+6228-3500)/$190,000=31% IRRMy client lost money throughout the year(repairs, vacancies, etc) and had an 8.1% interest rate.All this to say if you can stomach a few down or flat year, you will make a killing!

It wasn’t easy—there were tons of repairs needed, from plumbing and electrical updates to cosmetic fixes like flooring and painting.

Be sure to factor in repair costs to keep things profitable.
