INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income208 E Payson St, Pontiac, IL, 61764 in Pontiac earns a respectable 8.39% gross yield at $227,000, but after the $1,021/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $12/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.55) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
