INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.14% yield at 511 14th Ave NW, Decatur, AL, 35601 in Decatur is solid, but the $742/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $188/mo at $165,000. 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 $45,586 by year five, and $1,520/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
