It currently rents for $850, which is under market for this neighborhood (market is probably $950).With taxes, insurance, debt service, management expenses, 10% for maintenance, 10% for capital expenditures, and 10% figured in for vacancy, I'm calculating a current cash flow of $90 / month based on the $850 rent.I know that's not stellar, but here's why I like it:The neighborhood is one of those neighborhoods I really believe in -- it is minutes to downtown, and central to major redevelopment and transit projects in my city (Atlanta), and it may just be one of these hot neighborhoods that becomes one of the great places to live.Right now, this is the cheapest on-market property in the neighborhood -- the closest comps are in the 85-95K range, and several flips (not comps, but nicer houses on the same block) have sold in the $200K range in the past month.
