Most investor activity here is house hacks or long-term holds on duplex stock, not high-yield rentals. Underwrite the specific property: condition, parking, zoning, and recent rental comps. Premium pricing on the resale side often beats the rental math at acquisition.

Comp work has to be tighter than a neighborhood median here. The right price comes from recent sales on similar streets with similar lot sizes and renovation scope. Presentation and an accurate condition narrative do most of the work.
