INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 20 E Cedar St APT 8A, Chicago, IL, 60611 in Chicago the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.54%. The 5.54% gross yield on a $950,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $262,467 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.03) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
