INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 477 Ala Wai Blvd APT 79, South Lake Tahoe, CA, 96150 in South Lake Tahoe the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.4%. The 2.4% gross yield on a $799,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $220,749 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.44) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
