Investment Verdict
Solid Income319 1st St, Defiance, IA, 51527 in Defiance earns a respectable 9.34% gross yield at $135,000, but after the $607/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $174/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
