INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.33% yield at 500 1/2 Johnson St, Marengo, IL, 60152 in Marengo is solid, but the $1,030/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $192/mo at $229,000. 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 $63,268 by year five, and $2,109/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.73) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $99,990.
