INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 601 1/2 Helton St, Castle Rock, WA, 98611 in Castle Rock the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.38%. The 4.38% gross yield on a $359,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $99,434 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.81) 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: $81,606.
