Estimating Value

• Seller claims the current as-is value is what they are asking.
• Zillow claims the value of the property is $236,000. See Zillow Estimates for more information on why this can be misleadingly high or low.
• Seller is asking $58,000.
• You should analyze the property to determine your offer, but we will use the full asking price for our analysis.

Purchasing The House

Based on getting our full price offer accepted, that would be our purchase price. We will use that in our calculations below.

Nothing Down

• 100% Financing
• 100% financing for investment property is very difficult in our current credit market. There are ways to purchase property with no money down, but you will want to discuss these more creative methods with your lender and the real estate professional we can refer you to when you request information about this deal.
• Hard Money Then Rate and Term Refinance
• We can sometimes buy a house with a hard money loan and then immediately do a rate and term refinance to eliminate the really ugly 20% second mortgage that we describe above on the 100% financing analysis.
• To do this, we need to buy the property well below 80% loan to value.
• If we really can buy the house for $58,000 and it does appraise for at least $236,000, then we are at 24.58% of value.

10% Down

• If we purchase it for $58,000, then a 10% down payment would be $5,800.
• Likely, we would then be financing 80% (that's $46,400) on a first mortgage and then 10% (that's $5,800) with a second mortgage with a higher interest rate.
• Principal and interest payments on a $46,400 30 year fixed rate loan at 6.500% are: $293 per month
• Principal and interest payments on a $5,800 30 year fixed rate loan at 9.000% are: $47 per month
• That would leave us with a positive cash flow of $422/month when we subtract it from our Net Operating Income calculation which takes into account a reserve for maintenance and a 4.00% vacancy rate.
• Return on Investment Estimates
• IMPORTANT NOTE: These can change if any assumptions change.
• For putting up $5,800 as a down payment you'd see the following returns from the following benefits:
• Cash Flow
• $422/month times 12 months = $5,066 per year
• $5,066 per year/$5,800 invested = 87% return on investment from estimated Cash Flow
• Depreciation
• $58,000 purchase price with 10% estimated land value leaves $52,200 for the value of the structures that we can depreciate
• $52,200/27.5 years = $1,898 per year
• Assuming a tax rate of about 33%, then a third is the benefit from depreciation
• $633 per year/$5,800 invested = 10.91% return on investment from Depreciation
• Principal Paydown
• $46,400 loan pays down about $418 in the first year
• $5,800 loan pays down about $52 in the first year
• ($418 per year + $52)/$5,800 invested = 8.10% return on investment from Principal Paydown
• Appreciation
• Assuming a 5% appreciation rate. How did we come with that number? See Appreciation Rate Estimates for more info.
• Assuming the property is worth exactly what we paid for it $58,000. If the appraisal comes in lower then we will be forced to go back to the seller since it will affect our ability to get a loan on the property. If it is higher than our numbers will likely be much better.
• $2,900 per year/$5,800 invested = 50.00% return on investment from Appreciation
• Total from Cash Flow, Depreciation, Principal Paydown (first and second mortgages) and Appreciation
• ($5,066 + $633 + $418 + $52 + $2,900)/$5,800 = 156.35% return on investment

20% Down

• If we purchase it for $58,000, then a 20% down payment would be $11,600.
• We would then be financing the balance of $46,400
• Principal and interest payments on a $46,400 30 year fixed rate loan at 6.500% are: $293 per month
• That would leave us with a positive cash flow of $469 when we subtract it from our Net Operating Income calculation which takes into account a reserve for maintenance and a 4.00% vacancy rate.
• Return on Investment Estimates
• IMPORTANT NOTE: These can change if any assumptions change.
• For putting up $11,600 as a down payment you'd see the following returns from the following benefits:
• Cash Flow
• $469/month times 12 months = $5,626 per year
• $5,626 per year/$11,600 invested = 48.50% return on investment from estimated Cash Flow
• Depreciation
• $58,000 purchase price with 10% estimated land value leaves $52,200 for the value of the structures that we can depreciate
• $52,200/27.5 years = $1,898 per year
• Assuming a tax rate of about 33%, then a third is the benefit from depreciation
• $633 per year/$11,600 invested = 5.45% return on investment from Depreciation
• Principal Paydown
• $46,400 loan pays down about $418 in the first year
• $418 per year/$11,600 invested = 3.60% return on investment from Principal Paydown
• Appreciation
• Assuming a 5% appreciation rate. How did we come with that number? See Appreciation Rate Estimates for more info.
• Assuming the property is worth exactly what we paid for it $58,000. If the appraisal comes in lower then we will be forced to go back to the seller since it will affect our ability to get a loan on the property. If it is higher than our numbers would be much better.
• $2,900 per year/$11,600 invested = 25.00% return on investment from Appreciation
• Total from Cash Flow, Depreciation, Principal Paydown and Appreciation
• ($5,626 + $633 + $418 + $2,900)/$11,600 = 82.55% return on investment
