INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeS6185 Bluff Road #4, Merrimac, WI, 53561 in Merrimac earns a respectable 9.55% gross yield at $249,900, but after the $1,124/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $11/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.77) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $69,043 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $115,373.
