Im looking at a 50000 sq.ft retail and office center. The place is in what I believe to be a good location 10% population growth.
structures are in good condition no major repairs needed.
proforma cap rate is 12% proforma NOI is $324000
2004 apraisal on the property is $3,400000 owner is asking $2,700000.
Here is th problem. Property is currently running at 50% occupancy. current cap is 6% with $167000 NOI
I believe the high vacancy is due to the property being under managed.
since the property is priced more than 20% under apraised value, I think this may be a possible no money down deal?
My thinking is, I could take out a loan for 100% of purchase price ($2,700000) $1,million with a 10 year balloon. This should get my monthly mortgatge payments low enough to cover expenses and prevent any negative cash flow until I can get better managment in place and get the occupancy rate and net operating income up.
Would this work? Or even be possible? or is there a better way. Im a newbie just looking for direction HElP!
Any advice from you pros would be greatly appreciated.
