Investment Verdict
Solid Income38 Willow Ln, Galveston, TX, 77551 in Galveston earns a respectable 8.72% gross yield at $394,500, but after the $1,774/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $61/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
