INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 17 E 21st St, Baltimore, MD, 21218 in Baltimore the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.2%. The 4.2% gross yield on a $650,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $179,583 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.78) 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: $132,731.
