Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5779 NW Cotton Dr, Port Saint Lucie, FL, 34986 in Port Saint Lucie the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.48%. The 5.48% gross yield on a $623,535 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $172,271 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.01) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
