INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 144 Oakes St #2002, Grand Rapids, MI, 49503 in Grand Rapids the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.58%. The 2.58% gross yield on a $710,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $196,160 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.48) 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: $67,281.
