INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 412- 4125th Broadway, Santa Cruz, CA, 95060 in Santa Cruz the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.1%. The 4.1% gross yield on a $1,070,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $295,621 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.76) 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: $215,028.
