INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income2207 E 4th St, Waterloo, IA, 50703 in Waterloo earns a respectable 9.09% gross yield at $104,900, but after the $472/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $113/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.70) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $28,982 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $47,646.
