INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity BuilderThe 7.65% yield at 519 Tamarack Dr, San Rafael, CA, 94903 in San Rafael is solid, but the $3,953/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $166/mo at $879,000. 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 $242,851 by year five, and $8,096/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
