Corbin E. High sales price or too conservative of assumptions?
29 August 2017 | 4 replies
General assumptions I am making thus far include (assume duplex on deal below though per unit figures provided to generalize how I'm analyzing anything in the 2-4 unit range):Financing:-3.5% - 10% downpayment (depending on total capitalization), 4.65% interest rate o/ 30 year term-1.75% upfront PMI required, with 0.8%/year amortized into loan payments for ongoing PMI-3% plug for closing costs-2% of loan amount for financing fees-8% vacancy/collection loss-$450/unit/year insurance-7.5% Mgmt Fee on gross potential income-$500/unit/year for R&M-$300/unit/year for capital reserves-All utilities pass through to tenant-$30/month for landscaping-$40/month for pest controlAs mentioned, my cash flow after debt service on nearly all deals I look at (after adjusting the brokers' 20% expense ratio up to the 40-45% I am comfortable with) turns out negative or nearly $0/month, making me question whether the selling prices are absurdly high right now, whether my assumptions are far too conservative, or whether levering a deal to 90-96.5% (utilizing FHA 3.5% or anything up to 10% down) prevents anything from working due to the high monthly cost of financing which includes PMI.
