INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 649 38th St #509, Union City, NJ, 07087 in Union City the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.37%. The 5.37% gross yield on a $729,995 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $201,684 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.99) 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: $130,487.
