INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.28% yield at 25 Lionel Ave APT E, Waltham, MA, 02452 in Waltham is solid, but the $1,934/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $181/mo at $430,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $118,801 by year five, and $3,960/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
