First, if you're getting $75/month in CF ($9k/yr), and you put $110k in cash in, your CoCR is 9%, not 9.5%.Second, and this is the number that counts (% mean nothing, and will lead you to illusions), if you're getting $9k in cash back/year, and you put in $100k in cash, it will take you (if all goes perfect) over 11 years to recover your cost (cash).
