INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1639 S Merle Point, Homosassa, FL, 34448 in Homosassa the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.22%. The 5.22% gross yield on a $334,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $92,527 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.97) 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: $78,460.
