This is a solid, well thought-out breakdown — especially coming from an all-cash background moving into leverage.At a high level, the deal looks like it can work, but it’s fairly tight once you layer in realistic operating assumptions.A few things I’d look at more closely:• Your utilities at $700/month ($8,400 annually) are a meaningful drag — if there’s any path to reducing or partially shifting that, it would materially improve the deal• The maintenance and capex assumptions may be a bit light for a 1970s asset, especially with known foundation work• With only ~$700/month projected cash flow, even small variances in vacancy, maintenance, or expenses could compress returns quickly• Make sure taxes are fully stabilized at the purchase price — even smaller increases will impact your marginOn the positive side:• Basis seems reasonable for a 5-unit• Rents appear achievable based on your conservative estimate• You’re not relying on aggressive appreciation or proforma upsideOverall, I’d say:👉 It works, but it’s not a wide-margin deal — execution and expense control will matter.Curious — have you stress tested what happens if expenses or vacancy come in slightly higher than expected?
