Strong Cash Flow1718 S 4th St, El Centro, CA, 92243 in El Centro earns a respectable 10.44% gross yield at $179,000, but after the $805/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $94/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.94) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
