INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 4015 Cedar Heights Dr #8, Cedar Falls, IA, 50613 in Cedar Falls the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.04%. The 5.04% gross yield on a $279,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $77,331 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.93) 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: $65,224.
