INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 245 Forest St, Marlborough, MA, 01752 in Marlborough the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.09%. The 4.09% gross yield on a $609,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $168,255 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.27) 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: $208,536.
