INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2229 Cider Mill Dr, East Lansing, MI, 48823 in East Lansing the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.82%. The 5.82% gross yield on a $619,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $171,267 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.08) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
