INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.51% yield at 474 S Preston St, Cortland, IL, 60112 in Cortland is solid, but the $1,056/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $184/mo at $234,900. 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 $64,899 by year five, and $2,163/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
