INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 901 E 42nd St, Los Angeles, CA, 90011 in Los Angeles the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.46%. The 3.46% gross yield on a $949,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $262,191 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.64) 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: $158,039.
