INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6218 N Lenox Ave, Chicago, IL, 60646 in Chicago the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.9%. The 2.9% gross yield on a $1,489,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $411,383 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.54) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
