INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 214 S Austin St, Brenham, TX, 77833 in Brenham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.57%. The 2.57% gross yield on a $885,600 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $244,675 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.48) 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: $57,660.
