INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 208 2nd St E #402, Frederick, MD, 21701 in Frederick the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 1.53%. The 1.53% gross yield on a $1,749,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $483,216 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.28) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
