Hey I have a duplex in Bonners Ferry that I may sell. Let me know if you would like to look at it!!

Vickie - Availability will not be a problem and since Boise has a less than 2% rental vacany rate, it is a good time to become a landlord. But, if you are trying to cash flow you will want to remember that the loan on this type of property will probably require 10-20% cash down. Then you must consider your monthly payment, taxes, insurance on all units, HOA fees, utilities, income tax, property management (if any), etc. Even though a property may seem to be cheaper because of the price things like taxes, utilities, vacancy losses, HOA fees, etc. may actually make the property a more expensive investment. Ask questions like "does it have seperate meters" and "are taxes figured on individual units (as in townhouses) or single tax record (such as duplex)". I recommend this website for calculating your Cap Rate and investment potential. http://www.realestatecritic.com. I use it all the time and it gives great reports that are also helpful to provide your lender when applying for the financing. Good luck

Vickie,

There are lots of multi family units available. As a buyer you have the upper hand in this market, although prices are still appreciating.
