@Joshua D. are your numbers correct?...you're buying a $6,000 property with a loan?...it's nearly impossible to analyze any $6,000 deal...your numbers are going to be way inflated....that's why your CoC is 400%...and capitalizing any property with less than 5 units is really foolish..not sure why BP has this in their calculator...anyway, if your income is correct, this is ridiculous for cash flow, but an ARV of $25,000?...I just don't understand.
If you PM or send me the address I can likely assist further.

@Brandon Sturgill Yes Bought it with my line of credit. Property is worth between 25-35k just was being conservative. Might be best deal ive got so far haha from a cashflow and roi point of view right? What do you mean capitalizing any property with less then 5 units is foolish? Its also a duplex with attached garage.

@Joshua D. based on those numbers it looks like it can work. one concern: even with saving 10% for cap ex that will only be $1400 per year, which could get eaten up quickly if you need a new roof, plumbing, electric, etc. just because the house is 1/10th the cost doesn't mean the repairs will be 1/10th as expensive. It's crazy that you are getting $1150 in rents for a $7,000 all in property but good for you. Personally I wouldn't do this deal because $340 of monthly cash flow isn't enough for me to have to worry about owning two more units. I like to get at least $200 per door. But at the price you are paying you don't have much to loose and if all goes well you'll have an excellent return on your investment.

@Joshua D. Maybe just a pet peeve, but I don't understand the concept. It's just not how the financial world looks at investments...CAP is a component of "commercial" residential multifamily...5+ units. 1-4 unit properties are often classified as single family (This is how Core Logic classifies 1-4 units)...The properties are valued by comparable sales method. Calculating returns on small multifamily like this is only for our personal knowledge...it has nothing to do with actual value.
