INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 5 Harmony Ln, Methuen, MA, 01844 in Methuen the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.35%. The 5.35% gross yield on a $869,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $240,337 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: $226,792.
