INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5501 E Burnside St, Portland, OR, 97215 in Portland the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.03%. The 5.03% gross yield on a $659,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $182,070 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.93) 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: $171,362.
