INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 68-159 Au St #Penthouse 2, Waialua, HI, 96791 in Waialua the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.32%. The 3.32% gross yield on a $1,258,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $347,562 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.62) 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: $237,246.
