INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.68% yield at 1301 Peterson St, Alta, IA, 51002 in Alta is solid, but the $1,066/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $174/mo at $237,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $65,479 by year five, and $2,183/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.61) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $101,417.
