INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1937 Edgefield Drive, Bellingham, WA, 98229 in Bellingham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.87%. The 4.87% gross yield on a $880,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $243,128 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.92) 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: $224,793.
