INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1085 Hicks Road #B, Highlands, NC, 28741 in Highlands the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 0%. The 0% gross yield on a $999,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $276,005 in equity by year five.
