INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 181 Lydia's Ridge #L-5, Swanton, VT, 05488 in Swanton the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 1.86%. The 1.86% gross yield on a $619,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $171,018 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.34) 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: $32,779.
