INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 18285 Road P2, Cortez, CO, 81321 in Cortez the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.52%. The 4.52% gross yield on a $850,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $234,839 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.39) 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: $99,010.
