INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income655 E Ellis Rd, Norton Shores, MI, 49441 in Norton Shores earns a respectable 8.73% gross yield at $250,000, but after the $1,124/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $176/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.68) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $69,070 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $110,845.
