INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 93 Centre St #2, Brookline, MA, 02446 in Brookline the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.68%. The 5.68% gross yield on a $1,349,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $372,704 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.05) 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: $375,944.
