INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 68-3888 Lua Kula St UNIT 1, Waikoloa, HI, 96738 in Waikoloa the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.64%. The 5.64% gross yield on a $775,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $214,118 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.05) 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: $242,610.
