I came across an interesting mixed-use property deal and wanted to get some insights from the community on how to approach it. Here are the key details:

  • Property Type: 5-unit mixed-use building (2 retail, 3 residential)
  • Asking Price: $5,200,000
  • Building Size: 4,526 SF
  • Lot Size: 1,573 SF
  • Air Rights: 4,939 SF available
  • Location: Prime area, corner lot, close to public transportation and major attractions
  • Financials:
    • Total Annual Income: ~$359,305
    • Net Operating Income (NOI): ~$278,686
    • Existing Debt: $4.375M @ 4.28% (assumable, maturing 1/2031)
  • Rent Roll:
    • Retail tenants with leases extending through 2024
    • Residential units are all 3-bed/2-bath, free-market, with luxury finishes

I’m trying to figure out how to best analyze this deal and determine if it’s worth pursuing. This is my first deal involving assumable debt.

    It's real simple math.

    Let's assume you bought it without any money down and just took over their existing loan of $4.375 at 4.28%. That would be $800,000 below asking, so it's a good deal, right?

    The mortgage payment would be over $21,000 per month or $252,000 per year. I'm guessing you'll spend at least $150,000 more on taxes and insurance, which puts you at $400,000 a year in expenses for a property with a gross income of $360,000. That's a $40,000 loss per year after buying it for $800,000 below asking price and before accounting for maintenance, vacancies, capex, etc.

    Here's a guide that describes what good cash flow looks like and how to analyze a property.
