INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 2946 Kalmia Ave #51, Boulder, CO, 80301 in Boulder the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.92%. The 5.92% gross yield on a $629,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $173,919 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.10) 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: $201,635.
