INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 222/226 County Road 705, Athens, TN, 37303 in Athens the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.99%. The 3.99% gross yield on a $575,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $158,862 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.74) 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: $119,191.
