INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6 Barrows Rd, Worcester, MA, 01609 in Worcester the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.55%. The 2.55% gross yield on a $989,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $273,491 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.47) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
