INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2817 4th Ave S #201, Birmingham, AL, 35233 in Birmingham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.26%. The 5.26% gross yield on a $684,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $189,225 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.97) 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: $202,499.
