INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income1239 S 21st St, Philadelphia, PA, 19146 in Philadelphia earns a respectable 9.36% gross yield at $160,000, but after the $719/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $200/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.74) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $44,205 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $73,816.
