INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder601 4th Ave SW, Choteau, MT, 59422 in Choteau earns a respectable 7.67% gross yield at $135,000, but after the $607/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $74/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.42) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $37,298 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $55,754.
