INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 516 Greenwood St #516, Evanston, IL, 60201 in Evanston the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.44%. The 4.44% gross yield on a $1,200,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $331,538 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: $208,997.
