INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income535 E Lewiston Ave, Ferndale, MI, 48220 in Ferndale earns a respectable 8.03% gross yield at $204,900, but after the $921/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $20/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.49) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $56,610 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $79,368.
