An average single family house goes for $65K brings in rent of about $1,200, taxes $2,000, insurance another $600.

Hey everyone,I've found a potential property investing in through craigslist and I had a few questions regarding it.Here are the details:Triplex fully rented: ASKING $479,000 - 3 Bed 2 Full Bath (rents for $1200) - 2 Bed 2 Full Bath (rents for $950) - 2 Bed 2 Full Bath (rents for $950)They say that the tenant pays for cable, electric, gas/propane and the landlord pays for insurance, mortgage, property tax, and trash.

In fact many standard contracts do not even allow you to ask or kick out of a contract if it is under 4.0.

@Sean Fisher The HUD FHA 223(f) insured mortgage program for apartment and multifamily properties is one of the best financing programs available.

This isn't debt per say but one thing I haven't seen mentioned was insurance.

The numbers look good:Location: Broadway HouseNumber of Units: 1Rent: $1,350.00 Square Feet: 1,666 Upfront Costs:Cost per Unit $95,000.00 Price: $80,000.00 Cost per Square Foot: $57.02 Cap Improvements & Repairs: $15,000.00Cash on Cash Return:19.84%Total: $95,000.00 Debt Coverage: [minimum 1.6] 1.78 20%Down: $19,000.00Capitalization Rate (ROI)9.05%Current Assessed Value: $29,666.00 Loan Amount: $76,000.00 Net Cash Flow per month: $314.08 Interest: 4.88%Net Cash Flow per month per unit: $314.08 Term (yrs): 30Total Rent/Month: $1,350 GROSS SCHEDULED RENTAL INCOME: $16,200.00 Less: Total Annual Debt Service: $(4,826.40)Less: Operating Expenses: $(6,470.63)Less: Vacancy and Credit Losses (7%): $(1,134.00)NET CASH FLOW: 3,769 NET OPERATING INCOME - (NOI): 8,595 INTEREST: 3,680 DEPRECIATION: 3,455 NET INCOME: 1,461 Property Insurance: $1,000.00 Property Management (10%): $1,620.00 Placement Fee(30%): $405.00 Real Estate Taxes (5.06179%) $1,501.63 Repairs and Maintenance (12%) $1,944.00 Services: Snow Removal: 720 Utilities: Electricity: N/A Gas and Oil: N/A Sewer and Water: $30.00/mo Other

Does anybody know what industry standards are here?  

I have not seen small condo projects because the construction defects law is not yet fixed so I think you will have a hard time finding insurance to build them.

so 4K (x2), 400 (x4) 1K (x3) = 12K + little things here and there IE 3 flooring redos at 2K a pop, so 18K total over 27 years.That's assuming I hold it for 27 years, at which point now it's free and clear so my cash flow turns into $600 a month.Your property analysis adds $213 for utilities I'm assuming that's HOA/Insurance?

Unless it is pretty standard in your all's area for a tenant to pay an agent's commission, I doubt there would be many (if any) people willing to rent the apartment under those conditions.
