INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder18665 Benson Rd, Cottonwood, CA, 96022 in Cottonwood earns a respectable 7.71% gross yield at $439,900, but after the $1,978/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $106/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.43) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
