INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income318 E Locust St, Independence, KS, 67301 in Independence earns a respectable 8.55% gross yield at $139,000, but after the $625/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $65/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.58) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $38,403 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $57,224.
