INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income5106 Brightside View Dr, Baton Rouge, LA, 70820 in Baton Rouge earns a respectable 9.57% gross yield at $135,000, but after the $607/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $192/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.77) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
