Note: With the property purchased 100% in cash, there is no debt service, which significantly improves the financial metrics, especially the Cash-on-Cash Return and Break-Even Ratio. The higher potential rental income as student accommodation enhances profitability, although the increased operating expenses also impact the overall financial performance.
