INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 200 N Dakota Ave, Brownsville, TX, 78521 in Brownsville the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.33%. The 2.33% gross yield on a $750,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $207,211 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.43) 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: $38,068.
