Like I am avoiding condo prop for big mgmt fees and costly insurance.

. $5000Total investment: $30,480Mortgage payment: $530/month (Conventional 30yr at 4.6%)Annual rental income: $21,000Annual Expenses:  Property tax  $1200 (verified through property appraiser website)Insurance $1,200 (best guess)Prop man.$1,680 (8% of rent)Mortgage $6,360Calculations:NOI = Income (minus vacancy)- Expenses (Prop tax, insur, and Prop mgt)         = 21,000- 4,080          = $16,920Cash Flow = NOI - Debt service (mortgage)                  = 16,920 - 6,360                  = $10,560ROI = Cash flow/ Investment basis       = $10,560/ $30,480       = 34.6%Cap rate = NOI/ Purchase price                = 16,920 / 129,900                = 13.0% Cash on cash = ???

In Q2, due to occupancy levels, annual insurance premiums, annual property taxes, there was no cash flow above operating expenses and 8% is accumulating and will (hopefully) pay out in Q3 next month.

Besides the up front cost of the offered purchase price, title insurance, the tax bill, and annual property taxes, what other potentials costs should I be aware of (also mention any negatives to be aware of).Thanks in advance.

You have to do an analysis of what the cash flow is taking into account - mortgage loan and rate, insurance, taxes (High in some parts of Texas) Vacancy, repairs, cost of processing applications, showing, writing up leases or paying property management to do it.   

If you have the patience to find another property to invest your proceeds into, within that certain time frame and it makes you happy, then by all means do it.

@Kai Van LeuvenIt’s sounds like you’ve gotten all the low hanging fruit, another couple things that come to mind Is reducing boring expenses that people typically dont shop or spend alot of time addressing;-taxes ( I don’t know how tuned in the city is to your remodel but you want to spend a little effort ensuring you don’t get hit with a property tax increase )- I’m not sure the type of tenants your looking to attract but a playground might go a long ways to adding value-Insurance ( anything you cad do to reduce your insurance?

You have no expense for insurance, repairs, vacancy, or HOA this is a townhome so I am going to assume it has HOA. 

Sellers want top dollar and buyers want the deals so you have to try to find middle ground where both seem happy to proceed to get paid as a broker/agent and have a successful closing.

He is one of the buy for cash guys . trying to wholesale . and he suppose to insure the title .
