INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 140 N Birchwood Ave, Louisville, KY, 40206 in Louisville the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.57%. The 5.57% gross yield on a $379,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $104,711 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.03) 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: $108,278.
