INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 215 S 5th St, Independence, KS, 67301 in Independence the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.21%. The 3.21% gross yield on a $369,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $102,197 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.60) 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: $46,406.
