INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6121 Carson Rd, Houston, TX, 77048 in Houston the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.72%. The 2.72% gross yield on a $1,004,760 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $277,597 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.50) 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: $71,949.
