INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 712 Alder Street, Sultan, WA, 98294 in Sultan the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.41%. The 5.41% gross yield on a $399,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $110,236 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.00) 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: $112,445.
