INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income541 NW 3rd St, Buffalo Lake, MN, 55314 in Buffalo Lake earns a respectable 9.28% gross yield at $119,000, but after the $535/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $177/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.72) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $32,878 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $56,585.
