INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2 Bay Dr NE, Fort Walton Beach, FL, 32548 in Fort Walton Beach the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.81%. The 4.81% gross yield on a $625,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $172,676 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.89) 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: $132,418.
