1. 331-333 S Mcknight Rd

   $390,000 · 2 units
   Overpriced
   Cash flow −$683/mo Cap 4.3% Break-even price $262K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.93× Positive in yr 17

   Stable, low-expense duplex, but $390K is far above what $3,100 in rents can carry, so only a big price cut works.

2. 182 N Faye St

   $379,900 · 2 units
   Far off
   Cash flow −$1,149/mo Cap 2.8% Break-even price $164K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.52× Positive in 30+ yrs

   A tidy split-entry that works as an owner-occupied house-hack, but it is far too expensive as a rental at roughly $164K break-even versus $380K asking.

   Lower level is not described as a legal second unit; no kitchen is mentioned or shown for it

3. 2222-2226 Beech St E

   $349,900 · 2 units
   Far off
   Cash flow −$1,332/mo Cap 1.8% Break-even price $100K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.40× Positive in 30+ yrs

   Priced far above what two roughly $1,025 units can support, so only consider it as an owner-occupied house hack at a lower price.

   Rent estimates of about $1,025 per unit can't support a $350K price. Cash flow is deeply negative.

4. 1518 Pacific St

   $449,900 · 2 units
   Far off
   Cash flow −$1,138/mo Cap 3.4% Break-even price $236K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.62× Positive in yr 28

   Nice, updated up/down, but at $449,900 it doesn't pencil as a rental; consider it only as a house hack or at a much lower price.

   No rent roll, rents or lease status given; pitched partly as owner-occupant or multigenerational home, so the building may be owner-occupied with no tenant history
