AddressIntel AI Briefing

Framed as an investment play, this unit's above-market pricing demands a long-term rental hold strategy rather than a quick flip. Capitalizing on the active building maintenance and high-income local tenant profile will maximize occupancy stability. The focus should remain on maximizing monthly yield while allowing long-term market appreciation to build equity.

Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Median of 12 recent townhome sales in Mountain View (94043): $1,023/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,200 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.

Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.

Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
