INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 87 E Long Lake Rd, Valparaiso, IN, 46383 in Valparaiso the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.07%. The 4.07% gross yield on a $1,450,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $400,608 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.75) 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: $305,118.
