INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2209 S 1st St #332, Austin, TX, 78704 in Austin the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.1%. The 4.1% gross yield on a $495,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $136,759 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.76) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
