INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income8709 Westcott Rd #A/B, Houston, TX, 77016 in Houston earns a respectable 9.75% gross yield at $130,000, but after the $585/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $132/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.81) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $35,917 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $58,265.
