INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2326 E South Bear Creek Dr, Merced, CA, 95340 in Merced the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.66%. The 4.66% gross yield on a $1,450,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $400,608 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.86) 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: $335,226.
