INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 646 Kennebec Ave #646, Takoma Park, MD, 20912 in Takoma Park the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.24%. The 5.24% gross yield on a $485,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $133,997 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.97) 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: $126,237.
