INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 814 E Howe Street, Seattle, WA, 98102 in Seattle the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.95%. The 2.95% gross yield on a $1,985,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $548,419 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.55) 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: $297,126.
