OPPORTUNITY
Found by Acora. LoopNet shows 6 units, 100% occupancy, $875 average rent, $70k per unit pricing, and an 8% broker-stated cap. Modeled 8.55% cap, 11.45% CoC, ~$12,018 annual cash flow, and 1.50x DCR make this the strongest day-one DSCR candidate in the batch.
RISK
Title calls it a 4-plex while facts say 6 units. Public page does not display a lump-sum price or NOI. Confirm legal unit count, total price with the broker, actual rent roll, and T12 before treating the coverage as real.
VERDICT
Best new active lead this cycle. First call — verify total price, actual rent roll, T12, and whether all six units are legally conforming.

OPPORTUNITY
Found by Acora. Active 6-unit at $450k with 2-bed/1-bath units, 2021 capital improvements, Opportunity Zone status, and clear below-market rent upside. Stabilized model supports 8.04% cap, 9.39% CoC, and 1.41x DCR if lease-up lands.
RISK
LoopNet shows 0% occupancy while Zillow describes it as cash-flowing. Treat as vacant until proven otherwise. Needs rent roll, make-ready budget, and lease-up timeline before underwriting day-one cash flow.
VERDICT
Strong value-add lead if you want cheap units and can absorb vacancy. Write the offer around vacancy risk and lease-up reserves. Not a day-one cash-flow deal.

OPPORTUNITY
Found by Acora. Active legal triplex with one vacant unit ready for owner occupancy or a new tenant. Substantial recent improvements: metal roof, copper electrical, mini-split AC, water heaters, and main plumbing line replacement.
RISK
Nearly breakeven to slightly negative as a pure rental at 25% down / 6.5% debt. Becomes more interesting as a house-hack or if negotiated below ask.
VERDICT
Keep as a Tampa backup or owner-occupant angle. Not a headline cash-flow rental at list price.

OPPORTUNITY
Found by Acora. Active San Diego County duplex with two 2-bed/1-bath units, large lot, on-site laundry, fruit trees, and expansion potential. Duplex structure avoids the FHA 3–4 unit self-sufficiency test while still delivering a real rent offset on the second unit.
RISK
Listing does not disclose current rents. Rent assumption is market-based. Verify actual rents, vacancy delivery, insurance, taxes, and expansion feasibility before treating the offset as locked.
VERDICT
Cleanest practical San Diego County house-hack lead in this run. Strong if the buyer can live in Lakeside and rent the second unit near modeled comps.
