INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income155 Dunham Dr, Battle Creek, MI, 49015 in Battle Creek earns a respectable 8.32% gross yield at $299,000, but after the $1,344/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $101/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.54) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $82,608 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $120,468.
