INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3401 15th St SE #4, Washington, DC, 20032 in Washington the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.49%. The 3.49% gross yield on a $720,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $198,923 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.65) 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: $135,497.
