INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 875 S Bates St, Birmingham, MI, 48009 in Birmingham the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.65%. The 3.65% gross yield on a $1,625,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $448,958 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.68) 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: $247,540.
