INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 37 Msgr Patrick J Lydon Way, Dorchester, MA, 02124 in Dorchester the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.3%. The 5.3% gross yield on a $1,195,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $330,156 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.98) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
