INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 402 S Erath, Meridian, TX, 76665 in Meridian the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.41%. The 5.41% gross yield on a $274,999 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $75,977 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.00) 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: $59,390.
