Well the 1% net return guideline i.e 12% annually would suggest: 60000/0.12 = 500k.

Capex and management will both be more expensive than for a SFH, so I'd pay something like $400k and consider it a halfway decent deal.

I would start at 360k. 30k per unit at 12 1 BR. That's a lot of units to manage for the rents.

With the demographics and the unit size, turnover is probably high and management is not the easiest. I would be happy with assessed value ($450k) or less.

Thanks for the replies!

I gave it $500k estimated value

57.5% estimated total expenses:
 ($850/unit/year Cap Ex.)
 ($3200/unit/year Reg Ex.)
to include:
 8.3% Vacancies
 10% management fees
 5% Maintenance & Repair

Cashflow @ $850/mo
Cap Rate at 7.2%
Cash on Cash return at 8.1%
Perhaps with self management & maintenance it could be worthwhile.

Looks like most of the large Cap Ex. items were completed in the last 5 years
With no scheduled maintenance in the first 5 years of ownership
Estimated maintenance schedule is:
Year 5: 16k
Year 8: 48k
Year 12: 32k
Year 15: 52k
Reserves never go negative as scheduled

FWIW asking price is $875k
Wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy @ 500k

So with realistic expenses (including management and reserves) they're advertising it at a sub 5% cap rate. For a property in a very small market with minimal appreciation or rent growth likely. No thanks.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
