INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 606 N Plymouth St, Santa Cruz, CA, 95060 in Santa Cruz the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.84%. The 4.84% gross yield on a $1,399,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $386,767 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.90) 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: $337,087.
