INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1800 Avondale Dr, Durham, NC, 27701 in Durham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.97%. The 4.97% gross yield on a $402,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $111,203 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.32) 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: $141,866.
