INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5242 W Big Sky Trl, Cadillac, MI, 49601 in Cadillac the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.81%. The 5.81% gross yield on a $998,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $275,867 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.08) 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: $267,989.
