As everyone knows im new to the RE Investing field. I went and bought my first place in January 2008 it was a forclosure single family house 5 bedrooms 2 bathrooms. I went and knocked down the entire top of the house down to the foundation. Im rebuilding the house bigger and better than what it was im also building my garage.
Ive been looking around at properties up for sale and in foreclosure looking mainly to hold and cashflow. One ive been looking at is I hope ive done my thinking right here it is:
Its a 3br 2bath townhouse
Priced at $91,600 (Foreclosure needs a little work paint, rugs, etc)
im doing this at no money down first to see if it would work I am planning to put some money down.
taxes $1994.00/$166.17 a month
$42 dollars for HOA fees
30 year motgage at 5.75%
$491.73 plus $208.17 for taxes and HOA..... Total $699.90 a month
Rental price comps in the area is $1250 to $1497 via Zilpy.com
It looks to me like the numbers will work and I will cashflow nicely. BUT im having alot of doubt and hesitation of actually pulling the trigger. I keep hearing my families words in my head of not going to far or over extending myself. Or how RE investing is to risky grrrr issed:. I dont know should I wait till my house first house is ready? Should I do this asap right now? I guess im scared I dont know what I should do or how to get pass this feeling of self doubt and nervousness.
