INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3889 Big Mountain Rd #302, Whitefish, MT, 59937 in Whitefish the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.46%. The 2.46% gross yield on a $1,600,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $442,051 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.46) 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: $213,638.
