And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

I own two properties there, but insurance costs have skyrocketed.Lately, securing home insurance has become increasingly challenging due to the high risk of hurricanes, flooding, and other factors.

How much will the increased cashflow supplement your anticipated SSI?

Furthermore you can vastly increase your returns through leverage using a non-recourse loan but that will definitely trigger UBIT but again the numbers can still make a lot of sense. 

My guess solely looking at your numbers is that it's an older/distressed property which means you have to account for more costs in capex. 2nd thought being it's not in the best of neighborhood then you'd have to take into consideration lower quality tenants/ neighbors and maybe increase expected vacancy and late payments.

With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

I'd find this out.This would be a deal breaker if the city doesn't at leave put in writing that you can legally put in a bigger Septic tank to accommodate the bedrooms that have been added.Also was the increase in house size done legally since they weren't required to upsize the septic tank?

We have an existing mortgage (backed by these 2 lots and 2 others) and given the increase in appraised value there is no need to pay anything back to the lender when selling the lot.
