INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 150-152 N 16th St, Chesterton, IN, 46304 in Chesterton the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.93%. The 4.93% gross yield on a $499,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $138,113 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.91) 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: $128,334.
