INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 236-240 Locust St, Springfield, MA, 01108 in Springfield the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 1.48%. The 1.48% gross yield on a $1,725,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $476,586 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.27) 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: $91,701.
