Given our tax bracket, including tax savings when analyzing various real estate deals is critical in determining our ROI.

Constructed in 1917 and recently renovated in 2023, this 8,500 square foot building stands on a 0.18-acre site and features a variety of living spaces including four two-bedroom apartments, one three-bedroom apartment, a spacious one-bedroom unit, and two commercial retail units.

Maybe  DSCR 2nd if both the 1st and 2nd mortgages meet the debt service requirements. 

And, if the home has, at minimum, retained its value then 8 years in loan payments should have reduced the debt therefore creating a potential profit when sold. 

IF you don't have the balls or finances to weather that kind of time frame, go buy some equities or govt debt.
