INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder6506 Firefly Ln, Montgomery, AL, 36116 in Montgomery earns a respectable 7.65% gross yield at $333,900, but after the $1,501/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $173/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.42) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $92,250 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $137,340.
