INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income5612 Linden Cir, Johnston, IA, 50131 in Johnston earns a respectable 9.61% gross yield at $210,000, but after the $944/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $17/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.78) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $58,019 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $100,339.
