INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 604 E Lemon Ave, Monrovia, CA, 91016 in Monrovia the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.98%. The 3.98% gross yield on a $950,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $262,467 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.74) 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: $184,707.
