WHY THIS IS A STEAL A six-unit building sitting 0.10 miles from the International Blvd BRT corridor -- closer than any other property in this analysis to its primary catalyst. Five rented units generate $9,000/mo while you live in the sixth, and at $1.08M it requires commercial financing but offers the best per-unit value among the larger multi-family buildings in this week's picks. Pre-1983 rent control caps growth at 0.8%, but the starting yield is strong enough that the S&P would need 24.5% annual returns for a decade to keep up. |
Cautious Rent $10,200/mo · +$859K vs S&P |
Expected Rent $11,400/mo · +$1156K vs S&P |
