Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder324 Chestnut Hill Ave APT 14, Brighton, MA, 02135 in Brighton earns a respectable 7.79% gross yield at $393,200, but after the $1,768/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $75/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.44) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
