Would You Purchase This Property

I’d thinking of purchasing this property, which is located in North Alabama. Here are the details and financials:

- 2 buildings with 4 units in each building (8 units Total)
- Built in 1979
- 4 units rented( $400 + $465 + $400 + $375=
$1680/mo.)
- 4 units vacant and in the process of being renovated.
Owner expects those to rent for $435/mo
- each bldg is approx 3400 Sq ft
- Asking price is $167,500 X 2=$335,000

Annual Income:

- Gross Rents $19680

Annual Expenses:

- Management fee $3648(based on 5% vacancy rate)
- Prop Tax $2680
- Insurance $2222
- Utilities $2880
- Lawn Service $2160
- Cable TV $1386
- Garbage $888

Total Expenses $15864

NOI $3816

I do not have an appraisal but the listing agent used comps from sales of similar local properties to determine list price. I plan to put down 10 to 15 percent. I would appreciate your comments/analysis on this property’s numbers. If I can get the other units rented does it make sense to purchase?

Thanks

kevin

    if your looking for long term financing an insurance company is usually the way to go...getting non-owner financing with a high LTV is hard. Generally, your going to have to come up with the money.

    Do you have 401ks? take a loan from your 401k for the downpayment if you need it...just pay it back quickly

    I know that Starbucks owns all of their stores and does not franchise them, so you could contact corporate headquarters for them.

    As for the others, I think most franchises have a referral service at the home office so that if you have a good location, they could recommend that location to one of their new franchisees that are looking for a good place.
