Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder237 Franklin Ave, Killen, AL, 35645 in Killen earns a respectable 7.35% gross yield at $194,900, but after the $876/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $94/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
