Cash-flow positive
How each deal is modeled. 25% down, 30 year financing at an illustrative 7.25% investor rate, taxes from the actual county bill, plus landlord insurance, 8% vacancy, 10% maintenance and capex reserve, and 8% property management. Est. rent is the median of current area lease comps, trimmed for as-is condition. Cap rate is net operating income over price. Cash-on-cash is first year cash flow over your cash in. Adjust any input to your own plan and the ranking holds.

Income in place

Already tenant occupied or move-in ready. Rent starts day one, no rehab. The lowest-effort entry.

Value-add

Priced below the block because they need work. Budget a rehab, then the finished yield is the highest here.

Suburban

Newer stock in named school zones north of the city. Lower cap, but easier tenant placement and lower turnover.
