INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 7 Hickory Ln, Metropolis, IL, 62960 in Metropolis the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.21%. The 3.21% gross yield on a $239,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $66,031 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.59) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread. Total projected cumulative return: $25,801.
