SIEARN TAKE

Why we’re tracking it

Existing rental receipts and an owner-occupied residence create an income and possession question worth investigating; the current rent roll and unresolved municipal history decide the case.

LISTING AGENT’S DESCRIPTION · SUMMARY

Broker info & key considerations To confirm

Income and possession review

Obtain the unit-level rent roll, year-to-date ledger and municipal-work status.

  • Earlier listing copy described municipal and architectural work with an escrow holdback. The October 7 copy omits it; no evidence of resolution has been supplied.
  • Partial year-to-date receipts and projected rents cannot establish current whole-property annual income or NOI.
Source evidence and diligence

Financial figures observed Oct 8, 2026. Reported income is not audited collections. Editable estimates, financing and saved assumptions are separate from these source facts.

Gross rental yield basis

Displayed whole-property scheduled rent × 12 divided by source asking price, not your saved offer. HUD-based planning rent: FY2027 HUD FMR for Fort Lauderdale, FL HUD Metro FMR Area (METRO33100MM2680), effective October 1, 2026. Documented bedrooms per offered unit: 1, 1, 1, 3. Published gross housing benchmark $8,878/month includes major utilities, excluding phone, cable/satellite TV and internet. Subtract $600/month ($150/unit) for assumed tenant-paid electricity; remaining owner-paid services use the separate displayed utility budget. This electricity amount is editable budgeting policy, not a verified allowance or conservative bound. Replace scheduled rent and utility inputs with leases, payer terms and local bills. The adjusted $8,278/month is a full-occupancy scenario, not a rental appraisal, lease offer, subsidy payment standard or eligibility decision. Full-occupancy potential before vacancy, operating costs, financing and income tax; not current collections, cap rate or cash return.
