INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 524-526 Avenue E, Billings, MT, 59102 in Billings the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.7%. The 2.7% gross yield on a $600,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $165,769 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.50) 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: $87,752.
