Plugged it into the spreadsheet, here's what I came up with: Assumptions (pulled from the linked sheet): -Purchase Price: $133,000-DP: 30% -Rate: 5%-Term: 30 Year-Closing Costs: $3700 (National average, will depend on your loan and deal)-Insurance: $2616.00/yr-Taxes: $2100.00/yr-Repairs, Management, Utilities: ~10%/yr (Roughly 3% repairs +$3750+$6000)-Gross Income: $2650- Appreciation rate of property and rent increase rate both equal inflation -At sale, 6% realtor fees + $1000.00 in other fees (probably not enough) Results (assuming you hold for 5+ Years):-Cash Flow: ~$4600/yr -IRR: 13%These aren't terrible numbers, but they're not amazing either.
