INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1818 S Lakeshore Blvd APT 25, Austin, TX, 78741 in Austin the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.66%. The 4.66% gross yield on a $399,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $110,236 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.86) 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: $70,013.
