INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income2926 Maple Ave, Merced, CA, 95348 in Merced earns a respectable 8.05% gross yield at $349,900, but after the $1,573/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $181/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.49) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
