Hello BP, I'm trying to analyze a deal everyday until I pull the trigger on MF. Here are the details: Purchase price: $1.049M Monthly Rent: $8100 1-2% rule, no: 0.77% Area: B+/- Units: 3/2.5 Days on market: 203 Year built: 2015 Estimated commission to me: $31,491 2 car Garage 1800 sq ft Questions: 1. Besides the obvious benefits of buying like new (more depreciation, deferred CAP EX expenses) what are some others? 2. What would down payment/financing look like for something like this? Even if I owner occupied, loans like FHA and VA are out because of the total amount. Your comments are much appreciated.

Based on the rent to value there would be little point in analysing any farther. IT is overpriced and not a viable investment option.

You would most likely be required to put a minimum 25% down and the value of that equity would kill any possibility of ever having positive cash flow.

    @Thomas S. My thoughts exactly after finding a commercial loan calculator. I'm going to find a way to make it profitable though. Seller is the builder.

    You offer whatever you come up with after calculation regardless how much he asks. $1.049MM is definitely overpriced.

    Troy Luster Looks pricey to me. Commerical loan terms and the short amortization periods make things really tough. I guess I could make the argument that if you wanted to park your money, have a (relatively) low maintenance build, actually *wanted* to live there (as a person, not an investor), and didn't want any taxable income in the near term, then I could see doing it. But I have to admit, I would see this more in high dollar/appreciation markets than anywhere in Kentucky. Consequently, I'm not sure there's a strategy-market fit here. But that's just me...

    Jessie Niu Seller is probably the largest highest grossing broker/builder in the area. He may be interested in more than money. Thanks for the feedback.

    @Andrew Johnson All good points. Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking similar. The property would have so much of a paper tax loss, my Real Estate team and other endeavors would definitely benefit.
