INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 6 Lakewood Estates, Rome, ME, 04963 in Rome the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.99%. The 4.99% gross yield on a $519,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $143,390 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.93) 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: $122,894.
