INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Strong Cash Flow68-3890 Lua Kula St APT 1002, Waikoloa, HI, 96738 in Waikoloa earns a respectable 10.02% gross yield at $395,000, but after the $1,776/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $196/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.86) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $109,131 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $165,240.
