INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 159 N Willow St, Fruita, CO, 81521 in Fruita the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.64%. The 5.64% gross yield on a $400,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $110,513 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.05) 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: $122,146.
