INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2505 W Berkeley Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90026 in Los Angeles the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.25%. The 2.25% gross yield on a $1,695,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $468,297 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.42) 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: $172,558.
