INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income234 3rd Ave N, Crookston, MN, 56716 in Crookston earns a respectable 9.04% gross yield at $135,000, but after the $607/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $174/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.68) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
