Monthly estimates include principal and interest, a property-tax allowance, a homeowners-insurance allowance, and mortgage insurance for the 3.5% scenario. Cash includes tax and insurance only. HOA, maintenance, utilities, and tax effects are not included.

The 6.6% starting rate rounds Freddie Mac’s 6.58% average 30-year rate on July 23, 2026. The 3% closing-cost placeholder is within the CFPB’s typical 2%–5% range. Tax, insurance, and mortgage-insurance figures are adjustable planning allowances—not quotes.

Estimate only. Loan eligibility, appraisal, lender reserves, seller credits, and program limits are not checked.

CRIM & due diligenceParcel record & questions to verify

🏛️ CRIM property record

No parcel number is safely matched yet. The button opens the official map at the best listing location; confirm the parcel boundary before using its record.

A barrio or municipio pin is not precise enough to assign a CRIM record automatically.

Buildability

This is an existing urban casco structure with two income units; no land for expansion or new construction. Zoning is commercial/residential town-center; not suitable for rural dream-home build.

Questions to verify

  • Confirm property structure: is this a rented duplex/mixed-use building or a house? Verify title and whether entire structure or only residential unit is for sale.
  • Verify FEMA Zone AE flood insurance requirements and annual cost; review flood history for Gurabo Bo. Pueblo.
  • Inspect residential unit utilities (water, electric, septic/sewer); verify lease terms and tenant stability for rental income claims.
  • Confirm zoning compatibility if couple intends to occupy as primary residence rather than investment property.
  • Clarify acreage: listing does not state it; photo context suggests no meaningful land, only street-front lot.

What the photos show

Photos 1–4 show a modest two-story concrete townhouse in an urban street setting with minimal setback; bright orange and cream paint, metal railings on balconies, and ground-floor commercial frontage. Photos 5–8 reveal a lived-in residential kitchen and bathroom of basic condition; photo 6 shows a modest living/bedroom space; photo 8 is a hallway. Photos 9–12 display three bedrooms of small to medium size, simply furnished, with minimal natural light and dated fixtures. Photo 13 shows a utility/laundry closet. Photos 14–15 reveal ground-floor commercial and storage areas with miscellaneous items. Photo 12 is an exterior balcony view of an urban street scene. The property sits at street level in a densely built town center with no elevation, no visible views, no water, no fruit trees, and very limited privacy due to immediate neighbors and commercial traffic.
