INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 12461 Coastal Marsh Dr #708, Berlin, MD, 21811 in Berlin the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.87%. The 5.87% gross yield on a $498,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $137,837 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.09) 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: $146,714.
