INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.68% yield at 313 Mertie Ave, Palacios, TX, 77465 in Palacios is solid, but the $1,124/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $133/mo at $250,000. 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 $69,070 by year five, and $2,303/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.79) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $104,797.
