INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 315 W Galer Street UNIT 101, Seattle, WA, 98119 in Seattle the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.52%. The 5.52% gross yield on a $1,400,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $386,794 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.02) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
