INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income324 W Water St, Farmer City, IL, 61842 in Farmer City earns a respectable 9.21% gross yield at $165,000, but after the $742/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $122/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
