INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 16664 255th Ave, Spirit Lake, IA, 51360 in Spirit Lake the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.45%. The 2.45% gross yield on a $1,402,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $387,347 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.45) 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: $131,424.
