INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 26 Yank Way, Lakewood, CO, 80228 in Lakewood the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.48%. The 5.48% gross yield on a $769,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $212,461 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.02) 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: $227,896.
