INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 157 Alma Dr, Highland, AR, 72542 in Highland the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.82%. The 5.82% gross yield on a $599,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $165,493 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.08) 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: $182,044.
