INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income521 N McCarty Ave, Eagle Lake, TX, 77434 in Eagle Lake earns a respectable 8.59% gross yield at $339,000, but after the $1,524/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $16/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.59) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
