Investment Verdict
Solid Income1159 18th St, Des Moines, IA, 50314 in Des Moines earns a respectable 9.5% gross yield at $105,000, but after the $472/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $149/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
