INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder1814 Oakvale Dr, Chattanooga, TN, 37421 in Chattanooga earns a respectable 7.38% gross yield at $475,000, but after the $2,136/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $77/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.37) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $131,234 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $184,706.
