Ashwin - From what I can see from your analysis I would make sure you have insurance as well as (common) utilities in your expense items.

@Timothy Burnes Don't do it. 10-20k in equity is not worth all those issues.Bed bugs are a significant defect that can take either $5000 and tenting the whole building for heat treatment, which requires vacating the tenants or getting them hotel rooms for a few nights, or a sustained program of prevention with bed risers, leg traps, sealed mattress bags, and the tenants need to keep it up for.. get ready for it.. 6 months, which is how long they can live without a meal.Sewage in the basement could be a big issue if you have a sewer backup problem.The sinking toilet sounds like it needs immediate attention, but at least that's a straightforward repair.The other issues are what I would consider "normal" as in, you could fix them but don't need to in order to make the place liveable.Based on the bed bugs alone I would avoid... if you are comfortable with this level of rehab you should be getting a way better deal.

An investment makes you money, which means you get more money coming in than going out.The trouble is, you have to count not only the hard cost to buy (price, rehab, etc... but also the soft costs to operate (insurance, utilities, etc...).

Josiah - I took a look at your analysis and you might want to consider: expenses for common utilities (i.e. sewer, electric) if there are any, "re-leasing" fees from the management company (I would anticipate 1 or the 4 units needing to be released each year), and then overall maintenance each year - not sure I saw a number for that, but I would think 8-10% is a good start.
