INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder509 E 4th St, Albert Lea, MN, 56007 in Albert Lea earns a respectable 7.94% gross yield at $189,000, but after the $850/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $70/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.47) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $52,217 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $76,199.
