$319,900 · 2 unitsCash flow −$55/mo Cap 6.2% Break-even price $310K Yr 30 vs stocks 2.28× Positive in yr 3Charming, intact duplex, but at $319,900 it loses a little money on our numbers, so it works at a slightly lower price with verified rents.
No rents, leases or occupancy stated. Income can't be checked and the listing leans on 'cash-flow potential'.
