   $229,900 · 2 units
   Cash flows
   Cash flow $287/mo Cap 7.9% Break-even price $284K Yr 30 vs stocks 3.56× Positive in yr 1

   Cheap, fairly updated North End duplex with rents under market and a decent cap rate, but check the license, assessments and the old-house systems before offering.

2. 23 Acker St W

   $364,500 · 4 units
   Cash flows
   Cash flow $280/mo Cap 7.3% Break-even price $417K Yr 30 vs stocks 3.08× Positive in yr 1

   Rents look decent on paper, but the price is 30% above what the seller paid 18 months ago and the income leans on subsidies, so verify everything and negotiate hard.

4. 1094 Albemarle St

   Cash flows
   Cash flow $676/mo Cap 10.5% Break-even price $326K Yr 30 vs stocks 5.33× Positive in yr 1

   The numbers look strong on paper, but the unit count is unclear, the photos show real deferred maintenance, and the rents are unverified, so inspect and verify before believing the cap rate.

   Description conflicts on unit count: triplex vs. upper/lower duplex

5. 132 York Ave E

   $499,900 · 2 units
   Far off
   Cash flow −$1,133/mo Cap 3.7% Break-even price $287K Yr 30 vs stocks 0.70× Positive in yr 24

   Clean new duplex with low upkeep, but at $499,900 it loses about $1,133 a month, so it only works at a much lower price or as an owner-occupant buy.

   Taxes are unknown for a brand-new building. The new assessment and non-homestead rate could be much higher than the land-only bill.

6. 1700 Sylvan St

   $750,000
   Needs more info

   This is a speculative development site, not a rental, so only buy it if you can build 50 units and the wetland and approval details check out.

   Needs more info: No reliable rent estimate: too few comparable rentals close by, and no RentCast estimate.
