INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.66% yield at 285 E 1st St, Elmhurst, IL, 60126 in Elmhurst is solid, but the $2,244/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $139/mo at $499,000. 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 $137,865 by year five, and $4,596/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
