INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 641 Liberty St #B, El Cerrito, CA, 94530 in El Cerrito the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.59%. The 3.59% gross yield on a $1,008,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $278,630 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.67) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
