INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder418 17th St SE UNIT 12A, Auburn, WA, 98002 in Auburn earns a respectable 7.48% gross yield at $489,000, but after the $2,199/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $27/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.39) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
