Investment Verdict
Solid Income5216 Dark Shade Dr, Cairnbrook, PA, 15924 in Cairnbrook earns a respectable 9.56% gross yield at $114,000, but after the $513/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $161/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.72) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
