INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income501 E McClelland St, Monticello, IL, 61856 in Monticello earns a respectable 9.62% gross yield at $184,900, but after the $831/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $200/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.78) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $51,084 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $83,612.
