INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income4017 Cottage Hill Rd APT 3, Mobile, AL, 36609 in Mobile earns a respectable 9.34% gross yield at $163,000, but after the $733/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $120/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.73) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $45,034 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $70,133.
