Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder618 1st St S, Charlottesville, VA, 22902 in Charlottesville earns a respectable 7.35% gross yield at $387,500, but after the $1,742/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $58/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.
