INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.8% yield at 27 Water Street, Orono, ME, 04473 in Orono is solid, but the $809/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $185/mo at $179,900. 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 $49,703 by year five, and $1,657/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
