INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.54% yield at 2561 Lake Shore Dr, Niles, MI, 49120 in Niles is solid, but the $1,178/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $137/mo at $262,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $72,386 by year five, and $2,413/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
