INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2109 E Spruce St, Algona, IA, 50511 in Algona the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.18%. The 5.18% gross yield on a $159,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $44,177 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.96) 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: $38,467.
