Nervous about 8 units for first deal. Does it make sense?
In a failed attempt to buy a smaller 4-unit multi-family property, I stumbled across an 8 unit deal in Pensacola. This was going to be my first deal, so I'm not really familiar with the larger multi-family dynamics and wanted to see if this deal made sense. Each unit is 2bd 2bath going for $600. Here's what my monthly estimates look like:
Insurance (includes flood) - $450
Maintenance and capex - $530
Mgmt - $480
Vacancy - $480
Water and lawn - $415
Taxes - $350
Mortgage - $1730
Total expenses - $4435
Income - $4800
Cash flow = $365
Does this make sense? I know CapeRate is supposed to be in there too, but haven't figured that out yet.

Nerves are usually knocked out by market awareness and understanding of the investment. When there is a good bit of doubt or uncertainty, you need to ask yourself why .
