INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder810 Southfield Rd, Lake Charles, LA, 70605 in Lake Charles earns a respectable 7.46% gross yield at $170,000, but after the $764/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $4/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.38) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $46,968 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $64,740.
