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.

Buildability

Property is already developed as a duplex on 0.55 acres (well below the 5-acre threshold). Moderate FEMA flood risk (Zone A, 91%). Zoned R-G (General Rustic) which may restrict new single-family construction. Río Turabo access raises water/setback considerations for new builds.

Questions to verify

  • Verify actual parcel acreage and cadastral boundaries; listing claims 'nearly 1 acre' (2,206 m²) vs. stated 0.55 acres.
  • Confirm FEMA Zone A (91% of parcel) flood-risk implications and obtain flood elevation/base flood elevation; property sits in Río Turabo vicinity.
  • Clarify zoning compliance for duplex structure and rental/income use under R-G (General Rustic) designation; verify any permits or restrictions on two-unit operation.
  • Inspect riverfront easements, setbacks, and water-rights; confirm no encroachments or seasonal flooding patterns affecting lower level or parking.
  • Review annual CRIM tax ($2,206) and confirm exemption eligibility; assess insurance costs given flood zone.
  • Validate structural condition, foundation, and septic/water systems given 'sold as is' language and age of property.
Research & sourcesPhotos, web findings & original listing

What the photos show

Photos 1–5 show a duplex on sloped, well-vegetated land with mature trees; the structure has two independent units (ground-level apartment, upper 3-bedroom), both appear move-in-ready with recent finishes, functional kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry. Photos 12–15 confirm riverfront: a stream/water feature is visible on the property, with lush green surroundings and natural vegetation including fruit-bearing trees. Photos 11, 16–20 show interior spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas) in usable condition with modern fixtures. The terrain slopes noticeably (elevation ~481 ft is moderate), and the property is surrounded by dense vegetation and natural screening, suggesting privacy and some rainforest character. No ocean view is visible in any exterior photo; road access appears via a rural paved approach (photo 1).
