INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 119 E Houston St, Refugio, TX, 78377 in Refugio the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.63%. The 2.63% gross yield on a $349,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $96,422 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.49) 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: $23,246.
