INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.1% yield at 1236 W J Ave #4, Lancaster, CA, 93536 in Lancaster is solid, but the $1,569/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $197/mo at $349,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $96,422 by year five, and $3,214/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
