INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 506 N 3rd St, Wathena, KS, 66090 in Wathena the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.81%. The 5.81% gross yield on a $285,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $78,740 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. Total projected cumulative return: $75,407.
