Sounds good but is it a good deal?

I am brand new to Investing and this would be my first potential deal. This house is right next door to my current home and the owner hasn't lived there for 3-4 years. (Lives with her boyfriend) She keeps it maintained and is in good condition. She has the home paid off and has mentioned about wanting to sell before. I want to cash flow this property eIther by lease wIth the ootIon to buy or Long term rent. My deal is as followed: I would ask to do sellers finance so I could avoid a bank or loan at all. Offer price - $125k Repairs - $10k Mortgage/Tax/Ins. - $675 RAV - at least $160k Rent - $1400/m Prices are very reasonable for my area. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi @David Hollenberger,

Use one of the BP calculators to get a better idea with ALL costs. You need to factor in vacancy, maintenance, CapEx, and other costs.
