INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income1665 McKay St, Waukegan, IL, 60087 in Waukegan earns a respectable 9.02% gross yield at $160,000, but after the $719/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $93/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.67) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
