Rental Property Calculation
I'm just getting started with real estate investments. I like the idea of a duplex (or more units), long term tenants.
I was wondering if our area just doesn't add up, or if I'm missing something.
I saw an older duplex for 480,000. The total monthly rent currently is total $3,400, market would be $3,900.
If I run the numbers, it looks like I shouldn't spend more than about $280,000, that seems a lot lower than what they're asking.

Good for you - careful financial analysis of each deal is critical. Do this a lot, try to do it weekly. The more deals you analyze the better you will be at it and the more likely you will be able to find a good deal.
Most deals don't work, we look at more than 100 deals and reject them for every one we try to do.
