INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 735-737 40th Ave, San Francisco, CA, 94121 in San Francisco the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.55%. The 2.55% gross yield on a $1,610,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $444,813 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.47) 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: $189,994.
