Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder9226 Curtis Dr, Columbia, MD, 21045 in Columbia earns a respectable 7.98% gross yield at $714,999, but after the $3,215/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $180/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.48) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
