INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 7946 Fields St #A/b, Houston, TX, 77038 in Houston the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.59%. The 5.59% gross yield on a $420,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $116,038 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.04) 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: $94,645.
