INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.05% yield at 196 Dulwich Dr, Amherst, VA, 24521 in Amherst is solid, but the $787/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $149/mo at $175,000. 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 $48,349 by year five, and $1,612/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
