INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity BuilderThe 7.83% yield at 4281 Lowell St UNIT 4, La Mesa, CA, 91941 in La Mesa is solid, but the $2,374/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $180/mo at $528,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $145,877 by year five, and $4,863/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
