INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 771 Heath St #A, Chestnut Hill, MA, 02467 in Chestnut Hill the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.14%. The 3.14% gross yield on a $1,690,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $466,916 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.58) 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: $240,768.
