That's roughly an 18.6% cash-on-cash return. And here's the part most people miss — you're also paying down principal every month AND building equity through forced appreciation if you make even small improvements to the units.
After 5 years on a deal like this, you could realistically have $200K+ in total equity between appreciation and loan paydown.
This is why multifamily scales differently than single family. One acquisition. One closing. Ten doors.
If you're analyzing a deal right now and want me to run the numbers with you, drop the details below and let's look at it together.
