INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 821 W A St, Hayward, CA, 94542 in Hayward the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.31%. The 5.31% gross yield on a $799,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $220,749 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.98) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
