First Deal Analysis - Purchasing a Duplex
Hello all,
I am looking at making my first REI and finally found a property I am extremely interested in but wanted to make sure I am not missing anything. I found an off market deal for a 3 bed 2 bath duplex each unit having a 2 car garage and a decent sized yard. Each duplex is individually metered gas and electric, the water/sewer/gas is shared and the previous landlord has been paying that separately. I would be moving into one of the units for probably 2-3 years while saving for a down payment for another deal, for my calculations I am assuming both units are rented out. Am I missing any costs or not budgeting enough towards any of the costs. Additionally, if I were to allow pets (which I will) I could likely add another 50-100$/month, I did these calculations as conservative as I could.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
