INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 120 S Catalina St, Los Angeles, CA, 90004 in Los Angeles the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.66%. The 5.66% gross yield on a $1,550,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $428,236 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.05) 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: $441,372.
