Real Estate Purchasing in Expanding Markets
Fourth Quarter 1996 Update
The purpose of this is to update you on some of
the properties involved with our expanding markets project. As we mentioned
in the proposal, our current target market is Kansas City, Missouri. We
have two properties that I want to mention. I will also provide updates
to you on a quarterly basis so that you can track the progress of our properties
in the Kansas City area.
The first property is in an area known as Midtown. It is a house that has
been converted to a 4-plex. When we first purchased the unit, one unit was
empty, there was an estimated $6,000 worth of external repair that needed
to be done to the property, and the one unoccupied unit needed some minor
cosmetic rehabilitation. We are paying the heating costs on this building.
The purchase price of the property was $51,250, 10% down and total closing
costs were $3,885.54. Other costs for insurance, utilities deposits were
$365.
Total initial investment was $9,373.04
Rents from the four units were $310, $275, $250 and $0.
First month's rents were: $835.00
First month's expenses were (including debt service): $692.57
First month's profit (loss): $142.43
First month's ROI: 1.5%
First year ROI based on initial month: 18.2%
The tenant in the 2 bedroom unit moved out on November 30, 1996. We have
done some repairs and updates on this unit and the empty unit. On December
6, 1996 we re-rented this unit for $450 per month. The tenants moving in
are paying for many of the improvements to the apartment themselves (since
they want their choice of styles). We can approve or veto each improvement
based on how we would like to see the unit. The empty unit has been renovated
and should rent this month for $335.
Based on our current expenses and the new rents, the first year ROI could
be as high as 40.5% (assuming an additional out of pocket expense of $6,000
for external repairs and improvements). Though, if we use the cash flow
to pay for these expenses, our first year ROI will be 2.3%.
This Spring we expect to raise the rents in the other two units.
The second property is in an area known as Old Northeast. It is still part
of the basic downtown area of Kansas City, Missouri, and is within a 5 minute
driving distance of downtown on surface roads. Purchase price of this property
was $58,000. Again, 10% down, and closing costs were $3,301.11. One unit
is currently unoccupied. Rents in the other three units are $315, $415,
and $225. There are no estimated repairs on this unit.
The fourth unit was rented November 1, 1996 (for $350) and as of November
5, 1996 we had only received a partial rent on one of the units, this tenant
may be moving out and the amount short shows their deposit.
Total initial investment was $9,101.11
Rents from the four units were $350, $115, $315 and $225.
First month's rents were: $1005.00
First month's expenses were (including debt service): $842.50
First month's profit (loss): $162.50
First month's ROI: 1.8%
First year ROI based on initial month: 21.4%
First year ROI based on full rents: 57.0%
Rents on at least two units should go up this Spring.
