    Cash flow −$406/mo Cap 5.1% Break-even price $309K Yr 30 vs stocks 1.37× Positive in yr 10

    A four-plex that loses money at ask and has no rent data, so it only works at a lower price with a verified rent roll.

    No rents, lease terms or expenses given for the three occupied units

    Overpriced
    Cash flow −$477/mo Cap 4.5% Break-even price $210K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.99× Positive in yr 16

    Tidy, updated-looking duplex, but at $300K the taxes and price leave it cash-negative, so it only works at a much lower price.

    Taxes at the investor (non-homestead) rate are heavy relative to the rents this building can support.
