INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1026 28th Pl S APT 1, Birmingham, AL, 35205 in Birmingham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.48%. The 5.48% gross yield on a $337,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $93,245 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.02) 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: $103,734.
