Investment Verdict
Strong Cash Flow6253 Carlow Dr APT 2, Citrus Heights, CA, 95621 in Citrus Heights earns a respectable 10.26% gross yield at $249,900, but after the $1,124/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $142/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.90) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
