[Ashanti Douglas]

I wanted to share a quick analysis of a duplex in Houston for educational purposes:

Property Snapshot (public info):

• 2 units, 2/1 each → total 4/2
• Price: $79K (cash only)
• Rent: One unit $650/month, other unit could be rented with minimal work
• Estimated NOI: $10,600–$13,900/year
• Cap Rate: ~13–16% potential

Investor Takeaways:

• Low entry price → attractive for small investors scaling portfolios
• Immediate cash flow → especially with second unit rented
• Value-add potential → small upgrades can raise rent / NOI
• Location near Texas Medical Center → strong rental demand, low vacancy

⚠️ Property is currently under contract — this is my analysis / perspective based on public information.
