INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder203 S 1st Ave, Hot Springs, MT, 59845 in Hot Springs earns a respectable 7.17% gross yield at $219,000, but after the $985/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $29/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.33) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $60,506 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $84,562.
