  1. 921 27th Ave SE

    $259,900 · 2 units
    Cash flows
    Cash flow $80/mo Cap 6.8% Break-even price $275K Yr 30 vs stocks 2.69× Positive in yr 1

    A cosmetic-fixer duplex near the U that only barely cash flows at $259,900; any repair costs or rent shortfall push it negative, and it only works if the rental license and heat check out.

  2. 1174 14th Ave SE

    $525,000 · 2 units
    Overpriced
    Cash flow −$846/mo Cap 4.5% Break-even price $366K Yr 30 vs stocks 1.04× Positive in yr 15

    Charming student-area duplex, but at $525K it loses about $850 a month, and it only works near $366K or lower.

  3. 921 Weeks Ave SE

    $425,000 · 2 units
    Far off
    Cash flow −$936/mo Cap 3.7% Break-even price $249K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.73× Positive in yr 22

    Two decent 2-beds near the U, but $425K is well above what the rents support, so only worth a look at a much lower price.

    No rents or lease terms disclosed; income is unverified

  4. 1097 22nd Ave SE

    $399,000 · 2 units
    Far off
    Cash flow −$850/mo Cap 3.8% Break-even price $239K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.76× Positive in yr 22

    Pricing is way above what these rents can carry, so only consider it near the low-$200Ks and after seeing the real rent roll.

    No rents, lease terms or expenses given. The income is unverified.

  5. 2500 Como Ave SE

    $799,000 · 5 units
    Close
    Cash flow −$667/mo Cap 5.4% Break-even price $674K Yr 30 vs stocks 1.64× Positive in yr 8

    Nice-looking, recently updated building, but at $799K it loses money in our numbers and the unit count doesn't add up.

    Needs more info: The city's rental license covers 4 unit(s); this analysis counts 5.
