INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 51 E Broadway Ave #202, Fairfield, IA, 52556 in Fairfield the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.21%. The 4.21% gross yield on a $235,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $64,926 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.78) 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: $44,228.
