INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder488 Lee Road 155, Opelika, AL, 36804 in Opelika earns a respectable 7.62% gross yield at $225,000, but after the $1,012/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $158/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.41) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $62,163 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $94,980.
