Question about return calculations

| Investor-basis property return calculations
=============================
$100,000 price (say a 3-bedroom house in a suburb)
20% down = $20,000
===============
Monthly rent = $1,000x 12 = +$12,000
Annual maintenance at 2% = -$2,000
Annual property taxes at 3%= -$3,000
Mortgage at 7% investor rate on $80,000 = -$5,600
Canceling depreciation & recapture= +/- $0
=====================================
Net
$1,400
======================================
Percentage return = $1,400/$20,000 = 7% before taxes, excluding price
appreciation
Does this arithmetic seem sound? How about the rent & maintenance
assumptions? Any one?
Thanks,
Gerard

| The numbers don't mean anything without a specific house in mind. Some areas
you can get $1000/mo on a $100k house, other areas not. Taxes are not 3%
everywhere, and $80K at 7% for 30 years is over $6300 per year. What about a
capital reserve for the next roof or furnace? What about a vacancy
allowance? Are you going to use a property manager? (If so there goes your
7%) 7% return is not much, considering the work involved.
This where your Realtor comes in. You need to set your goals, first. Then
decide on the ROI.
