Long-term rental The property in Canelas offers a reasonable gross yield of 3.1%, making it a stable choice for long-term rental investors. However, with a fair market value just slightly above the listing price, potential for significant appreciation may be limited. Family rental Located in a suburban area with a family orientation, the property stands to attract stable long-term tenants seeking a safe and convenient environment. The fair valuation suggests that while the property is appropriate for family rentals, there is minimal room for negotiation or discounting. Buy-and-hold With the apartment priced at a fair value, the buy-and-hold strategy may yield steady returns but is not expected to provide substantial value appreciation in the near term. Given the 4.1% gap from the fair value, investors should be cautious as the price may not reflect significant growth potential over time.
Tenant turnover risk The tenant stability score of 70/100 indicates a potential risk of higher turnover rates, which could lead to increased vacancy periods and additional costs for finding new tenants.
