Rates are what they are — unless you can step into someone else's. This is the story here: an approximately $468,000 VA loan, priced at roughly 3.00%, sitting on a top-to-bottom renovated two-family in Fairfield's Stratfield neighborhood. Assume it, and a meaningful slice of your purchase is financed at a rate nobody's originating in 2026.
Both units were completely renovated: quartz counters, custom white cabinetry, stainless appliances, tile backsplashes, updated baths, refinished floors, recessed lighting. The 1BR/1BA first-floor unit and the 3BR/1BA unit spanning the second and third floors are both currently leased. Rents total $4,650/month and, per the listing, are believed to sit below market — the upside hasn't been captured yet.
Outside: a covered front porch, multi-level rear decks, and a fenced backyard with a fire pit and café lighting. Walk Score 72. Metro-North and Fairfield's commuting routes are close by.

This one plays best as a long-term equity and appreciation position, not an immediate cash-flow property. A 4.9% estimated cap rate is in line with what Fairfield typically prices at — nothing unusual there. What's unusual is the chance to assume roughly $468,000 at 3%, a financing structure you cannot originate in today's market at any price. Pair that with turnkey condition and rents that still have room to move, and it adds up to a credible long-term hold for the right buyer.
