INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1705 S 18th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19145 in Philadelphia the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.04%. The 5.04% gross yield on a $525,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $145,048 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.93) 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: $120,556.
