INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 4908 W Gate Blvd, Austin, TX, 78745 in Austin the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.98%. The 2.98% gross yield on a $595,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $164,526 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.60) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
