Investment Verdict
Strong Cash Flow834 Prairie Meadow Ct, Waterloo, IA, 50701 in Waterloo earns a respectable 10.08% gross yield at $164,000, but after the $737/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $3/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.87) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
