INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity BuilderThe 7.59% yield at 229 Michigan Ave, Cary, NC, 27519 in Cary is solid, but the $1,659/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $86/mo at $369,000. 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 $101,948 by year five, and $3,399/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
