INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 7700 Seawall Blvd APT 701, Galveston, TX, 77551 in Galveston the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.91%. The 5.91% gross yield on a $575,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $158,862 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.10) 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: $70,699.
