INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.73% yield at 545 W Vaughan St, Bertram, TX, 78605 in Bertram is solid, but the $1,187/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $43/mo at $264,000. 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 $72,938 by year five, and $2,431/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.62) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $103,923.
