INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 975 Washington St #107, Newton, MA, 02460 in Newton the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 3.89%. The 3.89% gross yield on a $1,395,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $385,413 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.72) 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: $255,234.
