INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 520-526 5th St, Bedford, IN, 47421 in Bedford the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.84%. The 2.84% gross yield on a $549,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $151,927 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.53) 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: $79,449.
