INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3600 N Lake Blvd #88, Carnelian Bay, CA, 96140 in Carnelian Bay the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.89%. The 2.89% gross yield on a $1,295,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $357,785 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.54) 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: $176,580.
