Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 480 S Hill St, Buford, GA, 30518 in Buford the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.2%. The 4.2% gross yield on a $874,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $241,719 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.78) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
