I ran the numbers but not 100% sure I'm getting the correct calculations so I wanted to reach out and see if someone can help us.Here is the info on the building we want to purchase:11,052 sqft  $169 per square footNeeds about $100,000 in repairs (roof, electrical, paint, cleaning etc.)Rents for 0.82 cents per square foot.We would put 25% down and pre-approved for the rest of the purchase price at 3.85%A similar comp down the street that just sold:11,747 sqft$163 per sqftrents for $.79 per sqftThe building was move in ready, no repairs needed.When you compare both properties  it would seem that you would come to the immediate conclusion that we are getting a bad deal but I'm just wondering how much to offer.

Zahrah McFadgen Finding Deals in the Capital District

I just got bit in the rear b/c Albany reassessed my property for what I paid for it (duh), which effectively doubled my property tax liability.I'm owner occupied, and with my first purchase I was primarily concerned with simply making sure the income covered operating expenses, and not terribly concerned w/ driving profit, but I was relying on the ~$200/mo I was making above cost to help subsidize fixing up the building, and now I'm about $50 south of the property costs.Paying $50 a month to live in my 4-unit isn't bad, but if this was a classic investment property, I'd be pretty ripped :)
