INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income2717 Highland Ave S UNIT 505, Birmingham, AL, 35205 in Birmingham earns a respectable 8.1% gross yield at $230,000, but after the $1,034/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $197/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.50) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $63,545 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $99,682.
