INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2498 E Centerline Rd, Saint Johns, MI, 48879 in Saint Johns the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.42%. The 4.42% gross yield on a $600,700 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $165,962 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.89) 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: $127,918.
