INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 221 E Walnut St, Mankato, MN, 56001 in Mankato the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.88%. The 2.88% gross yield on a $599,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $165,493 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.53) 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: $79,300.
