INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 161 E McMicken Ave, Cincinnati, OH, 45202 in Cincinnati the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.26%. The 2.26% gross yield on a $895,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $247,272 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.42) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
