INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1706 W Main St, Houston, TX, 77098 in Houston the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.7%. The 4.7% gross yield on a $860,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $237,602 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.87) 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: $152,934.
