INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 1606 1st St N, Cold Spring, MN, 56320 in Cold Spring the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 1.54%. The 1.54% gross yield on a $1,380,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $381,269 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.29) 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: $83,352.
