INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1852 Alpha Rd, Glendale, CA, 91208 in Glendale the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.4%. The 4.4% gross yield on a $1,089,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $300,871 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.82) 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: $236,363.
