INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 302 S Barton St, Arlington, VA, 22204 in Arlington the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.15%. The 5.15% gross yield on a $1,265,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $349,496 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.96) 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: $341,593.
