INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 517 W Frank St, Birmingham, MI, 48009 in Birmingham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.28%. The 5.28% gross yield on a $1,799,999 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $497,307 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.98) 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: $431,545.
