INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 733 W Prairie St, Pontiac, IL, 61764 in Pontiac the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.83%. The 5.83% gross yield on a $224,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $62,136 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.08) 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: $55,983.
