INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6527 S James Rd, Baldwin, MI, 49304 in Baldwin the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.78%. The 4.78% gross yield on a $295,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $81,503 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.89) 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: $62,862.
