Hello everyone! Im going over a few deals this week. Still looking for that first purchase. I recently came across a property thats very interesting.

It is a duplex with 1 tenant, who has lived there for 15 years. And is paying approx $1600 a month in rent. And pay all of his own utilities. There is no HOA and its within an hour of a military base.

I will be using a VA loan with no money down. And the asking price is $240,000.

With what information i have gathered so far (waiting on agent to respond) and using the calculators here on BP. It would cash flow a negative amount of roughly $100 per month.

To me this seems like a no brainer. I buy and hold as intended. And after a year of owning it i qould be able to rent out the second unit. Therefore increasing the cash flow.

I know this is a rough estimate as more information is needed. But could i ask for advice, suggestions, questions i should ask or concerns i should have from all of the much more advanced members of the forum?
