INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 51 Poplar St #2, Newport, RI, 02840 in Newport the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.75%. The 4.75% gross yield on a $909,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $251,140 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.88) 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: $195,880.
