INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 540 Beach Rd #510, Sarasota, FL, 34242 in Sarasota the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.66%. The 3.66% gross yield on a $1,795,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $495,925 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.68) 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: $269,931.
