Representative stock photography of Phoenix-metro residential product. These are not photographs of this asset — there is no such asset. This panel publishes a code and a submarket and nothing finer, because a plausible house number on a real street is a real house, and putting an invented price under a photograph of one is the thing this whole demonstration exists to avoid.
The read

Underwrite it
Every figure below recomputes as you move an input. Nothing is rounded until it is printed, and operating expenses never include debt service — that separation is what makes the cap rate a property of the building and the cash-on-cash a property of your deal. All outputs are estimates.

What it would have to cost
The asking price against three solved thresholds
Rent and every operating line held exactly as stated; only the purchase price moves. Each mark is the price that solves one condition. Nothing here is a price history: this asset has none, and inventing one would be the easiest dishonest thing on the page.
| Condition | Price | vs ask | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current asking price | $349,000 | — | The number on the panel. Everything below is measured against it. |
| DSCR 1.00 | $245,000 | −29.8% | net operating income exactly covers the mortgage; cash flow is zero |
| Submarket median cap (5.17%) | $276,500 | −20.8% | the price at which this asset yields what its submarket already yields |
| Leverage turns (5.84%) | $245,000 | −29.8% | above this cap rate the loan adds to the return instead of subtracting from it |
Asking price carried on the submarket index
The current asking price projected backwards on the West Mesa median-price index. Arithmetic on two synthetic series — not an appraisal, not a price history and not a record of any transaction.

Comparables
Rent is compared per unit, which is the only fair basis across a house and a fourplex. The subject sits exactly at the median of its five closest comparables.
| Asset | Submarket | Proximity | Ask | Sq ft | $ / sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WMS-02 Subject | West Mesa | — | $349,000 | 1,465 | $238 |
| WMS-01 | West Mesa | Same submarket | $318,000 | 1,310 | $243 |
| EMS-01 | East Mesa | Same city | $392,000 | 1,740 | $225 |
| EMS-03 | East Mesa | Same city | $448,000 | 2,280 | $196 |
| PRS-01 | Peoria South | Elsewhere in metro | $402,000 | 1,685 | $239 |
Sensitivity
What a five-percent move in price or fifty basis points on the rate does to the return. Computed at the baseline assumption set, not at whatever you have set the calculator to — it is a fixed reference.
Sensitivity — cash-on-cash by price and rate
Every other assumption held at the baseline set. A fixed reference, not tied to the calculator above. Estimates.
| Price \ Rate | 5.75% | 6.25% | 6.75% | 7.25% | 7.75% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $321,000−8% | -2.9% | -3.9% | -5.0% | -6.1% | -7.2% |
| $335,000−4% | -3.6% | -4.6% | -5.7% | -6.8% | -7.9% |
| $349,000ask | -4.2% | -5.2% | -6.3% | -7.4% | -8.5% |
| $363,000+4% | -4.8% | -5.8% | -6.9% | -8.0% | -9.1% |
| $377,000+8% | -5.3% | -6.3% | -7.4% | -8.5% | -9.6% |
Cash-on-cash-9.6% → -2.9%
What to check before you commit
HVAC
Condenser installed 2013, 13 years old. Inside normal service life for this climate, so the CapEx reserve carries it rather than a year-one line item.
Roof
Roof dates to 2015, 11 years old — inside the window most carriers will write without a surcharge.
Flood
FEMA Zone X. Outside the mapped special flood hazard area; a lender will not require separate flood coverage.
Water allocation
Served by City of Mesa. Long-run Colorado River and Central Arizona Project allocation is a genuine risk to price on the metro’s growth edges over a 10-to-20 year hold. It is a discount-rate question, not a next-quarter question.
No HOA
No association. Nothing constrains rental use at the community level, and there is no fixed monthly charge in the expense line.
