INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity BuilderThe 7.46% yield at 286 N Madison Ave UNIT 412, Pasadena, CA, 91101 in Pasadena is solid, but the $3,139/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $22/mo at $698,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $192,845 by year five, and $6,429/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.38) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $266,081.
