INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder318 Thomas Ave, Owatonna, MN, 55060 in Owatonna earns a respectable 7.52% gross yield at $344,900, but after the $1,551/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $6/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.39) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $95,290 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $131,304.
