    Cash flows
    Cash flow $699/mo Cap 8.9% Break-even price $471K Yr 30 vs stocks 4.28× Positive in yr 1

    Numbers look decent on paper at $340K, but with no rents, unverified taxes and mixed condition, treat it as a showing candidate until the rent roll and systems check out.

  2. 416 4th Ave S

    Close
    Cash flow −$10/mo Cap 6.3% Break-even price $273K Yr 30 vs stocks 2.42× Positive in yr 2

    A plain 2x2 duplex that is about $2K overpriced for investors at today's rates, with no rent or expense data to prove otherwise.

  3. 355 14th Ave S

    Cash flows
    Cash flow $201/mo Cap 7.0% Break-even price $427K Yr 30 vs stocks 2.93× Positive in yr 1

    Reasonable cash flow on paper, but without real rents and verified taxes the $389K price is a guess; get the rent roll and negotiate.

    No actual rents given; 'under market' is unquantified

  4. 1621 Concord St N

    Close
    Cash flow −$35/mo Cap 6.2% Break-even price $271K Yr 30 vs stocks 2.32× Positive in yr 2

    A character-heavy 1880 duplex that doesn't cash flow at $278K, with unproven rents and a lot of age to inspect, so it only makes sense with a price cut or as an owner-occupant buy.

    No rents, lease terms or tenant details given, so income is unverified

  5. 429 5th Ave S

    $350,000 · 2 units
    Overpriced
    Cash flow −$461/mo Cap 4.8% Break-even price $263K Yr 30 vs stocks 1.23× Positive in yr 12

    Tidy, updated-looking up/down, but $350K is about $87K more than the rents support, so it only works as a house-hack at a lower price.

    Price is far above what rents support; break-even is about $101K under ask.
