The apartment is listed for $27,000. It DOES have new appliances and HVAC, but is over $5,000 more than the other places that are identical in the same complex. I have one rental property, but it was a house I bought when I was young, so I've never made an offer on a property solely for a rental.
So the numbers shake out like this:
RENT - $750
HOA - $329
Taxes/Insurance - $60
Vacancy @ 10% - $75
Prop Mgt fee @ 12% - $90
Total - $554
Cashflow - $196
So I've worked up three options to offer the seller. I've never done this before so I'm doing my best to come up with something fair.
$24,000 offer - Seller financing - $300/month for 96 months which is at 5% interest
$21,000 offer - $10,000 down - Seller financing - $125/month for 108 months which is at 5% interest
