analyze this 3 plex buy and hold deal

John B.
Posted

B/B+ 3-plex in A neighborhood, small, upscale town in upstate New York, very stable housing market, 9/10 school district, 3-4% appreciation over last decade, 10-13% appreciation over last year. Rental demand fluctuates but is currently very high as people look to get out of NYC.

List price $425k, down payment 25% + closing costs $9,000 = total cash $115,250. Conventional mortgage 30 years @ 4%

Rents:

  • 4Br/2Ba currently vacant, market rent $1900
  • 1Br/1Ba currently $900, increase to $950
  • Studio currently $600, increase to $650
  • -----------------------------------------------
  • $3500

Expenses:

  • -$1522 payment/interest
  • -$640 taxes
  • -$150 insurance
  • -$200 repairs/maintenance
  • -$350 capex
  • -$280 vacancy
  • ----------------------------------------------
  • -$3142

Cash flow

  • $358 per month

My story:

  • Goal is long-term (8-10+ years) buy and hold investor. I do not need cash flow, as I have adequate W-2 income. Will likely funnel cash flow back into mortgage paydown to accelerate equity build. Purchase price is likely current full market value. I want to take advantage of historically low interest rates locked at 30 years and get into real property with the possibility of inflation coming at some point.
