INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 909 SW 338th Street #59, Federal Way, WA, 98023 in Federal Way the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.53%. The 4.53% gross yield on a $715,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $197,541 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.84) 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: $167,491.
