INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5610 E Timberlake Dr, Decatur, IL, 62521 in Decatur the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.42%. The 3.42% gross yield on a $199,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $55,229 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.63) 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: $23,906.
