With low-end mutlifamily, you need to figure on 1/2 of the gross rent going to every BUT debt service. Thus, $4600/year will go to taxes, insurance, utilities, management, legal, repairs, etc. That leaves $4600/year for debt service - p&i payments. On a 15 year land contract @10%, your p&I payment would be about $350/month or $4200/year. So, at worst, you would be looking at break-even with nothing invested and paid off in 15 years.
Unless the place is a real disaster or in an area that is unpopulated, it looks good on paper. Capitalization means nothing, but based no my figures, I see about 13% rate.
If he wants money down (I doubt it), offer to do repairs or improvements in lieu of a down payment.
Valuing a duplex… - Posted by Fran

I have a question regarding a call I got…
Former broker, had property here, retired moved to FL, and has one piece left he wants to unload.
Before he left he did a ton of interior renovations, new carpet, paint, appliances, etc. It needs some exterior work, at an estimated cost of 7K.
Here’s the current numbers:
Gross yearly rent: $9240/yr. ($385212)
Taxes: $711/yr.
Water/sewer (he pays): $900/yr.
His asking price: $34K
My gut tells me the bottom apartment will rent for a bit more, because it has the right to the basement and the laundry hookups, etc…
Once i do the repairs, etc., what should I be expecting to put aside for deferred maintenance, vacancies, etc.
Can anyone run me through the formulas to analize this deal (cap rate, NOI, etc.)
Thanks,
Fran
