INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2886 Joyce Ave, Decatur, GA, 30032 in Decatur the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5%. The 5% gross yield on a $368,999 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $101,948 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.93) 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: $92,334.
