INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income6863 Fillmore Dr, Merrillville, IN, 46410 in Merrillville earns a respectable 9.21% gross yield at $102,500, but after the $461/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $1/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.71) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $28,319 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $39,610.
