INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6533 Seaview Avenue NW #602A, Seattle, WA, 98117 in Seattle the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3%. The 3% gross yield on a $1,498,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $413,870 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.56) 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: $228,672.
