INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1033 Portland Ave, Saint Paul, MN, 55104 in Saint Paul the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.49%. The 5.49% gross yield on a $840,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $232,077 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: $228,410.
