INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income9 S West St, Hillsdale, MI, 49242 in Hillsdale earns a respectable 8.59% gross yield at $209,000, but after the $940/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $118/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens.
