INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Strong Cash FlowThe 10.29% yield at 1602 Elgin St APT 5, Houston, TX, 77004 in Houston is solid, but the $771/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $96/mo at $171,500. 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 $47,382 by year five, and $1,580/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
