Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder520 N Stapley Dr UNIT 285, Mesa, AZ, 85203 in Mesa earns a respectable 7.53% gross yield at $214,900, but after the $966/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $78/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.40) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
