INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder722 Empire St, Charlottesville, VA, 22901 in Charlottesville earns a respectable 7.69% gross yield at $500,000, but after the $2,248/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $67/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.43) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $138,141 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $194,151.
