INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1136 W Fronton St, Brownsville, TX, 78520 in Brownsville the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.43%. The 2.43% gross yield on a $640,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $176,820 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.45) 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: $35,787.
