It rents for $1,575 a month.
You would buy this modern single family home for $135,000. The rent comes in at $1,575 a month — and after the usual costs, you would keep roughly $788 a month in your pocket. No jargon required.
And it grows on top of that.
Beyond the rent, Rockford home values have jumped about 10% in the past year (Zillow, Redfin) — well above the ~5% long-term average. So while the rent pays you every month, the building itself is climbing in value too. See the sources →

The same numbers, for the analysts 🤓
If you like the technical terms, here is exactly how the deal scores. Do not worry if this looks like a foreign language — your mentor walks you through every line.

What this means for you
A cash-flowing rental at this yield can absorb vacancy, a repair, and a rate bump and still pay you every month. For a high earner, that is a durable, lender-friendly asset that compounds while you keep working — exactly the profile we help you recognize and own.
The 50% rule, plainly
A quick screen that assumes operating expenses (taxes, insurance, repairs, management, vacancy — excluding the mortgage) run about half of gross rent. It is a fast filter, not a substitute for a line-item pro forma. We build the full pro forma with you in mentoring.
