INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1301 S 7th Ave, Marshalltown, IA, 50158 in Marshalltown the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.28%. The 5.28% gross yield on a $299,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $82,857 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.98) 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: $73,747.
