INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder73 Shady Lane Dr, Locust Fork, AL, 35097 in Locust Fork earns a respectable 7.07% gross yield at $239,900, but after the $1,079/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $59/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.31) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $66,280 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $94,293.
