INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.4% yield at 479 South Ave, Elmira, NY, 14904 in Elmira is solid, but the $584/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $151/mo at $129,900. 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 $35,889 by year five, and $1,196/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
