INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2196 Spring Lake Rd, Defuniak Springs, FL, 32433 in Defuniak Springs the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.18%. The 5.18% gross yield on a $538,650 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $148,819 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: $124,055.
