INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 901 E UNIVERSITY Drive, Mesa, AZ, 85203 in Mesa the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.62%. The 4.62% gross yield on a $1,000,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $276,282 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.86) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
