CoCROI is really strong here too, and your debt coverage ratio is almost twice the requirements for most lenders where I live.

A few months ago I invested $850 for a 1000 strong mailing list with careful demographic targeting for years in residence, SFH home type, amount of equity in the home, and correlated with an increase of crime in the area (as crime is usually a major factor in getting people ready to sell and move).
