it was that simple we would not need to be creative would we? Just plug the info in a calculator and there you have it, the price.

Who knows, it might work. Just give it a try.

You ask if this is a good deal? Who knows? I probably would not even read the letter, it looks like it was weitten by a machine. This is not an exact science, it is more of an art, and real people are involved.

** Here is a deal that I found out about today. Is this a good deal and if so,
what type of terms should I make in the offer letter?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!! Here we go.

1st property:

Pharmacist owns the property, used it for office space. He was
recently hired by CVS as a manager and does not have time to operate
the property any longer. The property has been on the market for about
two years and was recently reduced again. His realestate broker told
him that he will have to “carry paper” since this is what investors
will require. He is willing to carry paper. The details:

1 bedroom unit, 2 bedroom unit, 4 bedroom unit and commercial space. All are fully rented.
Tenants pay their own gas, electric and hot water.
Landlord pays water, sewer and trash

$180k asking, $130k remaining on mortgage
Expenses = $10.2k/yr
NOI = $20.4k/yr

These are the caculcations that I made for a potential offer based on what
I learned in a REI course:

$30,672 (Annual income)

  • $ 6,314 (20% ROI from annual income)

$24,537

  • $ 8,588 (35% Expenses)

$15,949
x 100 (100 multiplier)

=$159,490 (Price to offer for the property; or offer $160k)
