An off-market deal has been brought to my attention.  The owner is not selling, but is not opposed to selling.  The unit is a 12-unit apartment building in Connecticut.  11 of the 12 units are currently rented.  All units are 1 bedroom, one bathroom, with a bonus room (either guest room or office).  I am not sure why the additional space is guest or office, my guess is no closet or window.  All units rent for $750 a month. There is off street parking for all the apartments, a four bay garage and 8 additional parking spaces.  My analysis is below.  What I request assistance with is help formulating a offer price.  I have an idea of what I think is a reasonable offer price, but I haven't purchased an off market apartment building yet and am a bit unsure where to start the discussion on offer price......

Unit x 12 $750
Total $9,000
Income Monthly Annual
Potential Rent Collected $9,000 $108,000
Vacancy Loss $900 $10,800
Gross Rent $8,100 $97,200
Operating Expenses Monthly Annual (% of Income)
Management Fees $450 $5,400 6%
Repairs and Maintenance $900 $10,800 11%
Lawn Care $0 $0 0%
Gas $0 $0 0%
Electric $50 $600 1%
Water $150 $1,800 2%
Sewer $66 $792 1%
Snow Removal* $40 $480 0%
Roof Fund $0 $0 0%
Taxes $600 $7,200 7%
Insurance $666 $7,992 8%
Operating Expenses $2,922 $35,064 36%
Financing Monthly Annual
Principle + Interest $2,725 $32,705 34%
Performance Monthly Annual
Net Operating Income $5,178 $62,136
- Financing $2,725 $32,705
- Improvements $167 $2,000
= Cash Flow $2,286 $27,431
Custom
PITI $3,991
Cap Rate 10.4%
GRM 6.2
ROI 22.9%
Ann Inc - 10% / Purch Price 14.6%

I plugged in 600K for an offer price because that warranted a cap rate of 10%+. That is not my answer necessarily, but a good stepping off point, I thought. With the ROI high enough I am open to offering a bit more but obviously want to get in as low as possible. Additionally, I used a commercial loan as the basis for funding with 20% down, but am hoping to work seller financing to entice them to a lower price with opportunity for interest and a monthly income stream. Not the only option, but one I am going to work.

Other notes:

The units are in extremely good shape.  This is essentially a turn key deal, not a value add

The unit rents are undervalued (roughly 10%).  Not a consideration in offer price, but a nice benefit.  They should rent for between $800-$825.

Off street parking is rare in this area.  The fact that they all have a space makes them appetizing which helps keeps the vacancy rates low.  I will still plan for 10% of course, but the parking will help.

Please help me find a good offer price that won't end the conversation with the seller, but is a good enough deal to make it happen.

Thanks all in advance!
