INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.43% yield at 4938 Sweet Birch Dr, Baton Rouge, LA, 70816 in Baton Rouge is solid, but the $1,282/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $165/mo at $285,000. 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 $78,740 by year five, and $2,625/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
