INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 914 N 40th Street, Seattle, WA, 98103 in Seattle the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.86%. The 2.86% gross yield on a $1,499,995 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $414,421 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.53) 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: $217,723.
