INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder36 Derby Dr, La Plata, MD, 20646 in La Plata earns a respectable 7.9% gross yield at $490,000, but after the $2,203/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $20/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
