INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3 Whitesell Way, Durham, NC, 27703 in Durham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.95%. The 5.95% gross yield on a $415,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $114,657 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.10) 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: $126,879.
