INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income506 E 9th St, Merrill, WI, 54452 in Merrill earns a respectable 9.41% gross yield at $172,000, but after the $773/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $194/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.75) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $47,520 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $78,188.
