INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 290 Dolphin Cove Ct, Del Mar, CA, 92014 in Del Mar the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.8%. The 5.8% gross yield on a $1,325,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $366,073 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.07) 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: $332,015.
