INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2208 W Broad St, Richmond, VA, 23220 in Richmond the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.56%. The 3.56% gross yield on a $899,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $248,377 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.66) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
