Am I over estimating expenses?
I'm about to jump into my first real property and I want to know if I am overestimating expenses. It's a 3 family for $70K and rents are generating $2100 per month. The property needs about $20K worth of work. I have all the current owners expenses (tenants pay their own electric), so I know those are accurate. But, am I overestimating on the accrued expenses like vacancy, maintenance, ect?
Actual Expenses | |
Water | $75.00 |
Trash | $60.00 |
Heat/Gas | $361.00 |
Sewer | $60.00 |
Insurance | $150.00 |
Snow/Lawn | $100.00 |
Taxes | $200.00 |
Estimated Expenses | |
Vacancy | $210.00 |
Management | $200.00 |
Maint | $210.00 |
CapEx | $210.00 |
Total Expenses | $1,836.00 |
Rents | $2,100.00 |
Monthly Cash | $264.00 |
Yearly | $3,168.00 |
You may have noticed that there is no figure for financing or mortgage expenses. The down payment and rehab money would come out of pocket (about $27K) and the owner will carry the mortgage for a few years which would allow me the time to fix up the place a bit and refinance into a conventional 30 year. The ARV woudl be $130K. I would estimate the mortgage expense to be about $300 per month on a $65K-ish mortgage. If I'm correct on the accrued expenses, it's not really a deal worth doing so I need a little BP community help.
Thanks,
Jeff
