INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income1900 W University Blvd #1016, Brownsville, TX, 78520 in Brownsville earns a respectable 9.05% gross yield at $111,700, but after the $502/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $48/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.73) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $30,861 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $47,719.
