INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2146 E Us Hyw 136 Hwy, Carthage, IL, 62321 in Carthage the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.37%. The 2.37% gross yield on a $349,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $96,671 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.42) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
