INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.62% yield at 1690 Gardenia Dr, New Braunfels, TX, 78130 in New Braunfels is solid, but the $1,315/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $20/mo at $292,500. 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 $80,812 by year five, and $2,694/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
