INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 18 Crystal Rd #2C, Crested Butte, CO, 81224 in Crested Butte the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.07%. The 5.07% gross yield on a $475,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $131,234 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.94) 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: $130,262.
