Please evaluate and lend opinions

Foreclosure REO

Bank asking for $135k

2 Unit 4br/2b 1,687sq ft

Comps are low 150s high 180s

So plugins in the numbers

Prop price $135k

Looking to putting in $10k (using a hard money lender if possible)

rent around the area goes low $1200 to high $1450

So i went with $1200 to be conservative on my numbers

So here are the numbers ( please evaluate and give guidance if any)

Property price $130k

Cash on close $10k

Rent for 2 units $2400 ($1200 per unit)

Prop tax $166

Insur $100

Mortgage(30yr fixed at 5%) $724

Propt manager $240

Hoa $0

VACA (10%) $240

Capex/repair (10%) $240

Total expense $1710

$2400-$1710= $694 cash flow

Cap rate= 12.5%

Coc return = 82,8%

So my question is is this a good deal? Is hard money/private money lender a better option to buy or does anyone have any other advice on this?

And should approach this plan as is to a lender or there need to be more tweeks?

Thank you ahead of time

    @Tony Nguyen on paper it looks great. Easy to evaluate a property in black and white with numbers. There is so much more to it then that. How old are the mechanicals and is the sewer line in good shape. How old is the roof, furnaces, hot water tanks A/C etc.. if you are setting aside $240 a month and all these things have 5 years or less left on them then you better double or triple the cost for repairs each month. Make sure your rent income evaluation is spot on and not inflated. $10k for repairs sounds light. Just carpet and paint for two units that size will easilly be 10k and chances are you are going to need other work. On paper it looks great just make sure your numbers are all in line. Double and triple check them. Ask other local investors and agents their opinion.
