INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1500 McShay Dr, West Lafayette, IN, 47906 in West Lafayette the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.8%. The 5.8% gross yield on a $494,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $136,732 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.07) 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: $145,136.
