INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2900 Carlson Blvd, Richmond, CA, 94804 in Richmond the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.46%. The 5.46% gross yield on a $699,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $193,121 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.01) 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: $191,397.
