INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 550 Sheridan Rd, Highland Park, IL, 60035 in Highland Park the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.84%. The 4.84% gross yield on a $1,095,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $302,528 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.90) 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: $214,201.
