INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3900 Chatham Pl #97, Brighton, MI, 48114 in Brighton the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.16%. The 3.16% gross yield on a $535,225 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $147,873 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.59) 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: $67,514.
