INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 18 Melrose St #1, Brooklyn, NY, 11206 in Brooklyn the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.52%. The 4.52% gross yield on a $1,375,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $379,887 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.84) 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: $266,678.
