INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 530 East Van Buren Cove Road, Van Buren, ME, 04785 in Van Buren the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.99%. The 5.99% gross yield on a $468,500 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $129,438 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: $138,159.
