Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 22 whole-home leases in Central West signed at a median of $3,591 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,837. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
