INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1908 N Randall Rd, Carroll, IA, 51401 in Carroll the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.23%. The 4.23% gross yield on a $298,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $82,470 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.78) 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: $56,572.
