INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 218 E Raymond St, Van Wert, OH, 45891 in Van Wert the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.4%. The 5.4% gross yield on a $145,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $40,309 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.00) 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: $36,066.
