INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income846 Sherwood Dr, Lake Wales, FL, 33898 in Lake Wales earns a respectable 9.01% gross yield at $150,000, but after the $674/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $131/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
