Investment Verdict
Solid Income5300 Walnut Ave APT 18E, Downers Grove, IL, 60515 in Downers Grove earns a respectable 9% gross yield at $199,000, but after the $895/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $113/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.67) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
