I Think I Have Found A Great Deal

I am wondering if I can get some feed back on a property that I am going to put an offer on.



The property is not on the market yet, but I know the sellers agent and am getting a jump on it.



It is a 2 unit retail and 3 unit residential building.



Here are the numbers:



Asking 299,000

Rental income: 48,000 (all rented)

Expenses: 9360 (not including mortgage)



I think it works out to be a 13.5% cap rate



He will also give me a mortgage at prime with only $25,000 down.



Building is old, but in good shape. The location is not the best, but the tenants are good.



What do you guys think?

    Also, it will cashflow about $1700 a month. With only $25,000 down, that seems like a pretty amazing return to me.

    You may want to consider the age. Older properties will have alot of maintenance. I am a licensed real estate broker with several rentals. I recently sold several quads because of the constant maintenance. These buildings were 40 years old and had repairs daily. Be sure to account for alot of future repairs.

    The 3 residential units have just been re-done and are quite nice. I think the amount of upkeep will be minimal..... fingers crossed
