INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 39 Hilltop Drive, Wiscasset, ME, 04578 in Wiscasset the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.34%. The 5.34% gross yield on a $479,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $132,339 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.99) 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: $124,447.
