Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder1232 Lions Ave, Morgantown, WV, 26505 in Morgantown earns a respectable 7.28% gross yield at $329,000, but after the $1,479/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $11/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.35) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
