Ended up getting a different deal, way better, 140k duplex added 50k to it, just got appraised for 270k renting out a bit below market for 2,475 one unit has section 8 so not to worried about tenant job loss. About to finish the refi and pull everything out.

Yeah that's the plan, I should have clarified the paint, it has asbestos siding that's in decent condition which I don't want to touch, but the eves are starting to peel so they need to be scraped and painted, I didn't get a quote or anything but figured it wouldn't be more then that, and I have painting guys that's pretty good so not to worried

Ahh yes I get what you're getting at, but in all seriousness It's move in ready, and all the trim and molding stuff that normally is leaded in old houses is wood grain so no worry of lead, but ya your right about the laws, if it ever comes up in the future I know who to call though.

Possible 1st investment property trying to get another perspective on wether this is responsible amounts for everything let me know what you think.
** Purchase & Rehab **
Purchase Price: $85,000
After Repair Value: $110,000 (the tax assessment was even higher then this but hoping to refi and pull as much equity out as possible, unsure of how the city and bank assess the property and if it's different though, I need to look into it more)
Purchase Costs: $2,550
Rehab Costs: $2,200
Down Payment: $17,000
Total Cash Needed: $21,750

Loan to Value (LTV): 80%
Loan Term: 30 Years
Interest Rate: 3.75%
Monthly Payment: $315
** Cash Flow (Monthly) **
Rent: $1,250 (possibly more this is on the low end for 3 bedrooms, and even lower for a stand alone house, but trying to be conservative in that the house is on a really small plot of land and has a cliff on 1 side)
Vacancy: -$63 (5%)
Expenses: -$339 (28.6%)
NOI: $848
Mortgage Payment: -$315
Cash Flow: $533

I had budgeted for 6k for renovations but realistically it probably only needs 2k, it's basically perfect the way it is right now just a tiny bit dated in that it has oak cabinets and wood grain molding. But what's your guys thoughts on this, yay or nay, thanks!

I found a 5 bedroom 1 1/2 bath large single family near my local college for 145k could easily rent out each room for $550x5 to college kids, worse comps are going for 180-280k it doesn't need anything but removing the okish wallpaper and a bit of cleanup and paint maybe 5k total, has tenents already in it (don't know how much there paying) so ~155k total with fees, and cost $1,650 conservatively a month water heating insurance maintenance internet (collage kids), I can't get the loan right now/don't have the time, would this be a good deal for someone to buy?, central mass area, off market.
