Hey All,
I'm about to get my first rental property under contract here, and want to run the numbers quick and make sure I'm not missing anything major.
The property is a 3 bed/2 bath in a decent neighborhood. The price I'm getting it for is $73,500 on an ARV of $80,000. I'm also getting 2% toward closing from the seller. I'm expecting around $2500 in immediate repairs, otherwise this property is just coming off of having a long-term renter and is rent-ready.

You're missing getting the property at 70% ARV or better. With that figured in you should get it at $56,000 less your repairs, for a total of $53,500. If the numbers are right and you don't mind risking depreciation in the market, you'll be okay. So plan on this being a long term hold.
