Sample Deal Math
What the math looks like
Three worked examples, not real listings, showing how Grace breaks down a buy-and-hold deal with conservative expense and vacancy assumptions.
| Neighborhood | Type | Price | Rent | Cap Rate | Cash Flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brookline | Single-family | $185,000 | $1,650/mo | 8.4% | $340/mo |
| Beechview | Duplex | $249,000 | $2,400/mo | 9.1% | $510/mo |

These numbers are illustrative, a worked example of how Grace breaks down a deal. Actual price, rent, and returns depend on the property.
