INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid Income23041 Moline Rd, Sterling, IL, 61081 in Sterling earns a respectable 8.48% gross yield at $210,000, but after the $944/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $27/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.57) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer.
