INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2541 S Fairfax Rd, Bakersfield, CA, 93307 in Bakersfield the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.96%. The 2.96% gross yield on a $800,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $221,025 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.55) 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: $111,091.
