INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 488 Folsom St #4904, San Francisco, CA, 94105 in San Francisco the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.4%. The 5.4% gross yield on a $1,400,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $386,794 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: $156,843.
