INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income1012 E 4th St, Storm Lake, IA, 50588 in Storm Lake earns a respectable 8.11% gross yield at $229,000, but after the $1,030/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $61/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.50) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $63,268 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $91,038.
