17 February 2017 | 6 replies

So taking into account part of that 1200 each month has to go to at least insurance and property taxes your break even time gets extended even further out.If you use a mortgage you are taking money from a bank to buy a property that the tenants will then pay off the mortgage.Another way of looking at this:Lets say all things are equal and you end up holding this property for 30 years and you never have a single expense and you pocket all the cash:A 30 mortgage at 5% with 30k down will cost you $483 per month for 360 monthsso if you pocket the excess each month you will have (1200-483)=717 per month x by 360 months gets you $258,000 for only a 30k investmentnow take that number and multiply by 4 because with 30k down you can buy 4 properties and you have $1,032,480so 120K = $1,032480Your way will pocket 1200 per month for 360 months = $432,000so 120k=$432,000 at the end of 30 yearsnow of course there are extra costs included with the above calculations and thats where owning multiple properties spreads out your risk.

ARV multiplied by .70 (seventy percent) minus repairs = Maximum Allowable Offer.So in your case above I would go conservative and use the low end of your range to be safe:$165,000 x .70 - 20,000 = $95,500So, at first sniff your offer of $86,000 would work.Now, make SURE that your estimated repairs are accurate.
