INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 236 Bolton Rd, Harvard, MA, 01451 in Harvard the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.15%. The 4.15% gross yield on a $1,799,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $497,279 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.77) 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: $354,256.
