INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5731 W Ohio St, Chicago, IL, 60644 in Chicago the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.36%. The 4.36% gross yield on a $474,999 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $131,233 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.81) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
