INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 453 E Putnam Ave APT 4B, Cos Cob, CT, 06807 in Cos Cob the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.97%. The 5.97% gross yield on a $844,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $233,430 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.11) 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: $223,479.
