INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 444 Mackie Rd, Sparta, TN, 38583 in Sparta the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.45%. The 4.45% gross yield on a $589,929 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $162,987 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.82) 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: $136,573.
