INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 308 1/2 S Commonwealth Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90020 in Los Angeles the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.05%. The 5.05% gross yield on a $1,100,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $303,910 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.94) 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: $277,007.
