 I believe the utilities are fairly accurate. I own a 4 unit, and paid $81.14 for water last month.

I do not believe anything is sub metered. I'm assuming its not, however I can confirm this soon. I can generate a list of questions to ask the seller. 

Forgot to mention also, its a 12,000 sqft building. The interior can use tasteful improvements like paint, decorations, and etc... The current rents haven't been raised in 7 years. They could most definitely be raised due to the superior location and building and are also under market. 

I would budget $100 per door for capex, so $900/mo - $10,800 / yr. 
Mortgage with 25% down would be $26,784 /yr. 

After capex and mortgage added, I'm left with ($48,280(NOI)-$26,784-$10,800= $10,696 cash flow a year.

Alright so I currently am in negotiations with a local property owner. Its  an off market deal so I'm not in a huge hurry, but plan to make an offer within the next week or two. I have the numbers listed below. 

Things to note:
*New roof was just put on this year
*Brand new central HVAC installed for all units
*Seller financing is not available as owner has a mortgage
*In a fantastic location

Hello Kay! Welcome to BP!

You are on the right track of thinking. Look into private money. Start with family and friends.

3) Yeah, buy a 4 unit if you can.

2) if they are on m2m leases, you can give them a 30 day notice that you won't be renewing their lease. If they aren't, you can't do anything.
