INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 238 S 9th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19107 in Philadelphia the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.6%. The 4.6% gross yield on a $1,199,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $331,262 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.85) 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: $247,056.
