INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income204 NE 1st Ave W, West Bend, IA, 50597 in West Bend earns a respectable 8.5% gross yield at $240,000, but after the $1,079/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $141/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.58) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $66,308 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $100,422.
