INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3596 S Shady Ln, Cedar, MI, 49621 in Cedar the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.23%. The 3.23% gross yield on a $820,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $226,551 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.60) 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: $106,235.
