INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 144 E I St, Benicia, CA, 94510 in Benicia the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.95%. The 3.95% gross yield on a $1,450,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $400,608 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.73) 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: $279,882.
