INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income516 Ridgeland Ave, Michigan City, IN, 46360 in Michigan City earns a respectable 9.25% gross yield at $110,000, but after the $495/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $188/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.71) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
