Condition Notes

This is the best-condition property in the group I'm sending you. The exterior was freshly painted in June 2026, the roof and full perimeter fence date to 2018, and the back unit's bathroom was remodeled in 2024 with a newer water heater. Photos show refinished hardwood floors, freshly painted shaker cabinets in the kitchen, and a clean, updated bathroom — nothing here points to deferred maintenance.

Strategy Comparison

The one thing to solve here is getting the back unit leased — once it is (I'm using $875/mo as a conservative market estimate for the smaller 632 sqft footprint), the economics improve meaningfully. What really sets this one apart: the tenant pays ALL utilities — electric, gas, water/sewer, insurance, even lawncare — you only carry property taxes. That's a genuinely strong expense structure for a small multifamily.

OutlookTRANSITIONAL

Conventional 20% down / 7.5% / 30-yr — this reflects the current as-is condition with only the front unit leased.

Cash flow and/or cash-on-cash return here are estimated from standard assumptions, not yet underwritten to a hard number for this strategy.

OutlookSTRONG

Conventional 20% down / 7.5% / 30-yr — this is the stabilized picture once the back unit is leased.
