Additional notes:

• Market Competition
• If you have trouble finding 5 comparable 2bedroom /2 bathroom on craigslist, you can also use any of the previous web sites we have used to find comparables (Zillow, realtor.com, trulia.com…)
• If you still can’t find 5 then you can use fewer comparables or look at similar, but not exact comparables (2bed/1 ½ bath, 2 bed/1 bath)
• Construction of Duplex
• If you have not yet calculated the construction cost, use the residential estimator. The residential estimator allows for you to plug in building height, type of siding, basement…
• Financing
• When calculating mortgage payment
• Total property cost will be: Land cost + building cost
• Total mortgage amount = Total property cost – inheritance + closing costs

Potential Income

Maximum Total Gross Potential Rent (MTGPR) = 2 units X each unit’s monthly rent

NET monthly income = (all income minus all operating expenses except for loan payment)

All Income = (MTGPR – rent not received because of vacancies + other income)

• All Income = (MTGPR – (MTGPR * vacancy rate) + other income)
• For this assignment other income = 0

Calculate all operating expenses @ 45% of gross rent

• Calculate NET monthly income for this example as pre-tax so tax bracket doesn’t apply
• NET monthly income = (All Income – (MTGPR *.45))

Income per month after the mortgage payment = NET monthly income – mortgage

• Once again this is all pre-tax so tax bracket doesn’t apply
