The 2.08% gross yield on a $1,589,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $439,011 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.39) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
