INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 8 Ship Street, Rockport, ME, 04856 in Rockport the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.38%. The 2.38% gross yield on a $1,150,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $317,724 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.44) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
