INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 111 W 3rd Ave APT 201, San Mateo, CA, 94402 in San Mateo the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.5%. The 5.5% gross yield on a $1,600,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $442,051 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: $441,674.
